This book is not comprehensive: covering the complete spectrum of topics in environmental physics would require a monumental work and most readers would have little appreciation for the more specialized top-ics. Many books or review papers on specific topics exist and they some-times include exercises, but they are often too detailed for the purpose of a general course in environmental physics. | Exercises in Environmental Physics Valerio Faraoni Exercises in Environmental Physics Valerio Faraoni Physics Department Bishop’s University Lennoxville, Quebec J1M 1Z7 Canada vfaraoni@ Library of Congress Control Number: 2006925900 ISBN-10: 0-387-33912-4 ISBN-13: 978-0387-33912-2 Printed on acid-free paper. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC All rights reserved.
