Principles of Environmental Physics discusses the physical processes which determine how living organisms respond to their environment. The authors review the relevant basic physics and discuss radiation and heat exchange, and mass and momentum transfer; applying these principles to the heat balance of plants and animals and to the micrometereology of crops. The new edition has been thoroughly revised, including further material on topics such as the effect of aerosol on solar radiation at the ground; transmission of radiation in crop stands; radiative properties; and remote sensing.Thoroughly revised and up-dated edition of a highly successful textbook.The latest information concerning the large scale effects of the breakdown of the ozone layer on plants and animals if fully dicussed.Modern techniques, particularly remote sensing via satellites, are fully discussed.

Product Description: This study is a part of the Asia and Pacific intra-regional outbound tourism series, being conducted by the World Tourism Organization. As intra-regional tourism within the Asia-Pacific region is on the rise, and constitutes a good portion of the total tourists to the region, these studies focus on the potential of the Asia-Pacific generating markets, as a source market for the countries concerned...read more

Product Description: The past few years have seen the emergence of a growing, widespread desire in this country, and indeed everywhere, that positive actions be taken to restore the quality of our environment, and to protect it from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution-air, noise, solid waste, and water...read more
