Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphereby Barbara J. Finlayson-Pitts; James N. Jr. Pitts
Elsevier 1999; US$ 148.00Here is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of one of the hottest areas of chemical research. The treatment of fundamental kinetics and photochemistry will be highly useful to chemistry students and their instructors at the graduate level, as well as postdoctoral fellows entering this new, exciting, and well-funded field with a Ph.D. in a related discipline (e.g., analytical, organic, or physical chemistry, chemical physics, etc.). Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere provides postgraduate researchers and teachers with a uniquely detailed, comprehensive, and authoritative resource. The text bridges the "gap" between the fundamental chemistry of the earth's atmosphere and "real world" examples of its application to the development... more...
Chemistry of the Natural Atmosphereby Peter Warneck
Elsevier 1999; US$ 210.00Knowledge of thc chemical behavior of trace compounds in the atmosphere has grown steadily, and sometimes even spectacularly, in recent decades. These developments have led to the emergence of atmospheric chemistry as a new branch of science. This book covers all aspects of atmospheric chemistry on a global scale, integrating information from chemistry and geochemistry, physics, and biology to provide a unified account. For each atmospheric constituent of interest, the text summarizes the principal observations on global distribution, chemical reactions, natural and anthropogenic sources, and physical removal processes. Coverage includes processes in the gas phase, in aerosols and c1ouds, and in precipitation, as well as biogeochemical cycles... more...
Observing Systems for Atmospheric Compositionby Guido Visconti; Pietro Di Carlo; W. Brune
Springer 2007; US$ 159.00Reports the results from GOME, SCIAMACHY, AURA, and TOMS satellite missions as well as the relevant aircraft and ground based campaigns conducted in US and Europe. This book discusses data handling and provides an overview of satellite and aircraft observations. It also gives an introduction to the sensor web concept. more...
Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere for Environmental Securityby Agnčs Perrin; Najate Ben Sari-zizi; Jean Demaison
Springer 2006; US$ 119.00Anthropogenic activities lead to the emission of greenhouse gases, pollutants, aerosols and ozone depleting substances and the scientific community in general feels responsible for understanding how changes in atmospheric chemistry can affect the Earth's climate. This work describes the capabilities of various satellite experiments. more...
Environmental Studiesby Anil Kumar De; Arnab Kumar De
New Age International Pvt. Ltd., Publishers 2005; US$ 20.00About the Book: This book is designed in terms of the UGC guidelines for the common course on Environment/Environmental Studies for the undergraduate students of various streams (B.A., B.Sc., B.Com., etc.) in colleges and universities. First published in 2001, the book has been updated and thoroughly revised in the form of the Second Edition. It is hoped that the book will be found extremely interesting and useful by the teachers and students concerned for the common course. Highlights of the book: Simple and lucid presentation of environment (physical and human) Only essential scientific terms included and explained throughout the text Glossary of key terms included in each chapter for better understanding of the subject Feedback Exercises... more...

Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistryby Daniel Jacob
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 78.50Atmospheric chemistry is one of the fastest growing fields in the earth sciences. Until now, however, there has been no book designed to help students capture the essence of the subject in a brief course of study. Daniel Jacob, a leading researcher and teacher in the field, addresses that problem by presenting the first textbook on atmospheric chemistry for a one-semester course. Based on the approach he developed in his class at Harvard, Jacob introduces students in clear and concise chapters to the fundamentals as well as the latest ideas and findings in the field. Jacob's aim is to show students how to use basic principles of physics and chemistry to describe a complex system such as the atmosphere. He also seeks to give students an overview... more...
The Atmospheric Chemists Companionby Peter Warneck; Jonathan Williams
Springer 2012; US$ 229.00This companion provides a collection of frequently needed numerical data as a convenient desk-top or pocket reference for atmospheric scientists as well as a concise source of information for others interested in this matter. The material contained in this book was extracted from the recent and the past scientific literature; it covers essentially all aspects of atmospheric chemistry. The data are presented primarily in the form of annotated tables while any explanatory text is kept to a minimum. In this condensed form of presentation, the volume may serve also as a supplement to many textbooks used in teaching the subject at various universities. Peter Warneck, a physical chemist specializing in atmospheric chemistry, received the diploma... more...
