Thoroughly revised and up-dated edition of a highly successful textbook.
This book is an interdisciplinary and accessible guide to environmental physics.
Comprehensively covering the field, this book brings together thelatest developments, theories, research and concerns, from both thescientific and social sides.
This book starts with the big picture, relating Einstein's famous mass-energy formula E = mc2 to the global climate; and then proceeds to examine the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere, from the synoptic scale through to the ...
An abridged, student-oriented edition of Hillel's earlier published Environmental Soil Physics, Introduction to Environmental Soil Physics is a more succinct elucidation of the physical principles and processes governing the behavior of ...
The emphasis of this text is on physics, i.e. the concepts and principles that help in understanding the ways to produce energy efficiently or to mitigate climate change.

For the case of a composite wall or barrier, adding the R-values may give a sufficiently accurate value for calculating energy transfer, even though gaps between layers and differences in adhered boundary layers of air may change the ...
This is an ideal textbook for first year undergraduates in a variety of courses, particularly physical geography, physics, environmental and earth science, with worked examples illustrating principles and vignettes from scientists who have ...
