'He has produced yet another high quality text. This one contains much background material required for a first-tome course in atmospheric chemistry … this knowledge is applied in numerous solved problems throughout the text, and students will find the exercises very helpful … I expect this book to become required reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in atmospheric chemistry at the introductory level. It would also be a useful introduction for anyone interested in this important and growing field of science, especially those from a non-chemical background.' Miroslav Radojevic, Chemistry in Britain
