Updated and revised, this highly successful text details the basic chemical principles required for modern studies of atmospheres, oceans, and Earth and planetary systems. This completely accessible introduction allows undergraduate and graduate students with little formal training in chemistry to grasp such fundamental concepts as chemical equilibria, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, solution chemistry, acid and base chemistry, oxidation-reduction reactions, and photochemistry. In the companion volume Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry (also to be published in May 2000), Peter Hobbs details atmospheric chemistry itself, including its applications to air pollution, acid rain, the ozone hole, and climate change. Together these two books offer an ideal introduction to atmospheric chemistry for a variety of disciplines.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"...very well written...any student aspiring to be a meteorologist, with or without a lab coat and acid-stained fingers, should have a well ear-marked copy on the shelf. Even fledgling chemists will find this text useful as a short, but concise introduction to difficult subject matter." Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics
Book Description
Updated and expanded since its first publication in 1995, this book provides a clear, concise grounding in the basic chemical principles required for modern studies of atmospheres, oceans, and Earth and planetary systems. Students with little formal training in chemistry can work through the chapters and numerous exercises before moving on to more advanced texts. A companion volume entitled Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry (2000, Cambridge University Press) provides an introduction to atmospheric chemistry itself. Together these two books provide an ideal introduction to atmospheric chemistry for a variety of disciplines.
