Chapter 1: The Rainbow Planet: Studies of the Earth's Climate From Space (3,140k)

This book contains recent inaugural lectures by professors of environmental science and technology at Imperial College in London.

  • Rock, Soil and Health: Man's Interference with the Geochemical Environment (I Thornton)
  • Virtual Ecology (J D Woods)

“This book is relatively short and easy to read … other scientists and policy makers may also find it interesting reading. Several chapters may be useful as a good introduction to undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a career in environmental fields and to graduate students as they begin to develop their research projects.”
