Description for Environmental Physics: Sustainable Energy and Climate Change
Paperback. * An introduction to physics in the context of societal problems as energy, pollution, climate change and finite resources of fossil fuels and uranium. * Emphasis in the book will be on physics, on the concepts and principles that help in understanding the ways to produce energy or to mitigate climate change. Num Pages: 456 pages, black & white illustrations, colour illustrations, black & white tables, figures, colour. BIC Classification: PH; RB; RN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 169 x 25. Weight in Grams: 716.
This thoroughly revised and updated third edition focuses on the utilization of sustainable energy and mitigating climate change, serving as an introduction to physics in the context of societal problems. A distinguishing feature of the text is the discussion of spectroscopy and spectroscopic methods as a crucial means to quantitatively analyze and monitor the condition of the environment, the factors determining climate change, and all aspects of energy conversion. This textbook will be invaluable to students in physics and related subjects, and supplementary materials are available on a companion website.
