PRENTICE/HALL

Atmosphere, Weather and Climate has established  its reputation worldwide as the essential introduction to the study of atmosphere and world climate. Rigorously revised  and updated, the 7th edition retains its popular tried and tested structure and remains the most comprehensive guide to  the earth's weather processes, climatic conditions, and human impacts on climate change. The most topical issues of global change and responses to climate, and the latest scientific ideas, are expressed in a clear, non-mathematical manner. New features for the 7th edition incude: * extended coverage of regional climates - Australasia, sub-arctic and polar regions, and the former USSR * updated analysis of global warming, desertification, mid-latitude synoptic systems, local climates, the role of the oceans and atmosphere/earth/ocean interactions * new sections on thunderstorms, teleconnections, typhoon paths over Asia, Australian monsoons, boreal forest and tropical urban climates * discussion of environmental  impacts of climate change and predicted changes over the next millenium. * coverage of the 1995 IPCC results on climate  trends and projected responses * superb range of new illustrations including 4pp colour section * extended further reading, bibliography and chapter summaries.

From clear explanations of the basic physical and chemical principles of the atmosphere, to descriptions of regional climates and their changes, the book presents a comprehensive coverage of global meteorology and climatology. In this new edition the latest scientific ideas are again expressed in a clear, non-mathematical matter.  New features include:    extended and updated treatment of atmospheric models   final chapter on climate variability and change has been completely rewritten to take account of the IPCC 2007 scientific assessment.   new four-colour text design featuring over 30 colour plates   over 360 diagrams have been redrawn in full colour to improve clarity and aid understanding.

Network Analysis in Geography

<p><p>Originally published in 1973. This collection of essays looks at the 'quantitative revolution' and the 'new geography' by some of the geographers who had a significant part in those innovations and looks ahead to further developments. The views in the chapters are diverse and offer a fascinating glimpse of the discipline of geography as the subject was undergoing such change and becoming more socially committed. They cover theory, spatial-systems theory, forecasting, human ecology and climatology alongside the teaching of the subject. The concerns of the contemporary geographer come across and are of interest today as these areas have developed still more.</p></p>
