Description: "Environmental Physics provides an introduction to the physical principles that underlie environmental issues and shows how they contribute to the interdisciplinary field of environmental science. The book explores a broad range of topics, encompassing the natural and human environments." "Environmental Physics makes the subject accessible to those with little previous knowledge of physics. As a student of environmental science, the reader will find the wide range of topics covered in this single volume invaluable. Environmental Physics is highly illustrated with over 100 figures and plates, and has boxed case studies, end of chapter summaries, further reading and a glossary."--Jacket.
