Effects of Air Pollution on the Built Enviroment, The
edited by Peter Brimblecombe (University of East Anglia, UK)

Air pollution damages materials, but it has changed dramatically in the past century, with a reduction in the concentration of corrosive primary pollutants in urban atmospheres. At the same time, architectural styles and types of materials have changed, as we have moved to more organically rich, photochemically active atmospheres... more info

Strength and Weathering of Rock as Boundary Layer Problems
by Christine Butenuth (Imperial College, UK)

This book describes a search for geological evidence of meteorite impact structures in Britain. The statistics of impact structures indicate that Britain should have Phanerozoic impact structures up to tens of kilometres in diameter. A constant theme is the importance of atmospheric break-up... more info

Non-Lte Radiative Transfer in the Atmosphere
by M López-Puertas (Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, CSIC, Spain) & F W Taylor (University of Oxford, UK)

During the last three decades, it has become increasingly clear that atmospheric modelling and remote sounding of the atmosphere from space, to name just two important application areas, are affected by non-equilibrium processes which have not been incorporated into... more info
