Spectra and Examples of Environmental Spectroscopy -- 8. Context of Society -- App. A. Gauss, Delta and Error Functions -- App. B. Some Vector Differentiations -- App. C. Physical and Numerical Constants N2 - "Environmental Physics, Second Edition presents a broad discussion of the physics which is used to analyse, prevent or reduce environmental problems. Both experimental and theoretical techniques are covered, including environmental spectroscopy, the generation of energy for human use, the transport of pollutants and the study of noise. Importantly, the final chapter places these issues firmly in the context of human society." "Environmental Physics, Second Edition will be invaluable to all students of environmental physics or environmental science, at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level. Environmental scientists who need to know how physical methods can be used to help their work, will also find this book extremely useful."--Jacket.
