		Ionospheres Physics, Plasma Physics, and Chemistry 2nd Edition Robert Schunk, Andrew Nagy £85.00 A second edition describing the physical, plasma and chemical processes controlling ionospheres, upper atmospheres and exospheres, for researchers and graduates. ‘This excellent book’s utility as both a graduate-level textbook and reference book for active researchers fills a much-needed niche in presenting the expansive topic of ionospheric physics and chemistry.’ EOS Published August 2009 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521877060 | In stock
		Heliophysics: Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos Edited by Carolus J. Schrijver, George L. Siscoe £40.00 An advanced text providing an integrated approach to the Sun's variability, the surrounding heliosphere, and planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres. Published July 2009 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521110617 | In stock
		Cloud and Precipitation Microphysics Principles and Parameterizations Jerry M. Straka £70.00 Provides a background to the fundamental principles of parameterization physics for accurate numerical predictions of cloud and precipitation. Published June 2009 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521883382 | In stock
		Atmospheric Thermodynamics Elementary Physics and Chemistry Gerald R. North, Tatiana L. Erukhimova £35.00 Textbook that uniquely integrates physics and chemistry in the study of atmospheric thermodynamics for advanced single-semester courses. Published April 2009 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521899635 | In stock
		The Asian Monsoon Causes, History and Effects Peter D. Clift, R. Alan Plumb £73.00 The Asian Monsoon describes the causes, evolution and far-reaching effects of this dramatic climatic phenomenon. '… this book is highly recommended. It is one of the few, easily accessible and summative texts in the subject area.' Dr Yongqiang Zong, Senior Lecturer, Department of Geography, University of Durham Published May 2008 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521847995 | In stock
		Climate Extremes and Society Edited by Henry F. Diaz, Richard J. Murnane £73.00 A scientific exploration of changing climatic extremes and their impacts on society. Published May 2008 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521870283 | In stock
		An Introduction to Space Weather Mark Moldwin £74.00 One of first undergraduate textbooks on space weather designed for introductory space physics courses. Published February 2008 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521861496 | In stock
		The Art and Science of Lightning Protection Martin A. Uman £57.00 A practical text on lightning protection for meteorologists, atmospheric scientists, architects, engineers, and fire-safety experts. 'The greatest strength of this text is that it is written by the most authoritative lightning scientist/engineer in the world who brings over 40 years of research and teaching in the field, with over 200 reviewed papers and several previous books on lightning … There is no one in the world more qualified to write this book. … There are no other books, in my opinion, that compete with this publication. Uman is the most competent individual to write this book, which fills a gap between the advanced text that he coauthored with Rakov and his introductory popular book, All About Lightning, published by Dover Publications in 1986. I recommend this book without any hesitation.' Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Published January 2008 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521878111 | In stock
		Human-Induced Climate Change An Interdisciplinary Assessment Edited by Michael E. Schlesinger, Haroon S. Kheshgi, Joel Smith, Francisco C. de la Chesnaye, John M. Reilly, Tom Wilson, Charles Kolstad £63.00 Survey of climate change science for graduate students, researchers and policymakers interested in climate change. 'It allows ideas to be tried and new thoughts floated as we start to tackle the issue of global warming. A useful reference for the university library.' Ecological and Environmental Education Published October 2007 | Hardback | ISBN-13:9780521866033 | In stock
