Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
This book shows how basic physical principles can be applied to describe interactions between living organisms and their microenvironment. Emphasis is placed on teaching the student how to calculate actual heat and mass transfer rates, rather than just studying the concepts involved. Numerous examples are provided to illustrate many of the principles, and problems are included at the end of each chapter to help the student develop skills in using the equations and to gain an understanding of modern environmental biophysics. The book is an engineering approach to environmental biology., The objectives ofthe first edition of"An Introduction to Environmental Biophysics" were ''to describe the physical microenvironment in which living organisms reside" and "to present asimplified discussion ofheat andmasstransfermodelsandapplythemtoexchangeprocessesbetween organisms and their surroundings." These remain the objectives ofthis edition. Thisbook is used asatext in coursestaughtatWashington State UniversityandUniversityofWisconsinandtheneweditionincorporates knowledge gained through teaching this subject over the past 20 years. Suggestionsofcolleaguesandstudentshavebeenincorporated,andallof thematerialhasbeenrevisedtoreflectchangesandtrendsinthe science. Those familiar with the first edition will note that the order ofpre­ sentation ischanged somewhat. We now startbydescribingthe physical environmentoflivingorganisms (temperature,moisture, wind) and then consider the physics ofheat and mass transport between organisms and their surroundings. Radiativetransportistreated laterinthisedition,and is covered in two chapters, rather than one, as in the first edition. Since remote sensingisplayingan increasingly importantrole in environmen­ tal biophysics,we have includedmaterialonthisimportanttopic aswell. Aswiththefirst edition,thefinal chaptersare applicationsofpreviously described principlestoanimal and plant systems. Many ofthe students who take our courses come from the biolog­ ical sciences where mathematical skills are often less developed than in physics and engineering. Our approach, which starts with more de­ scriptive topics, and progresses to topics that are more mathematically demanding, appearstomeettheneedsofstudentswith thistypeofback­ ground. Since we expect students to develop the mathematical skills necessarytosolveproblemsinmassandenergyexchange,wehaveadded manyexampleproblems,andhavealsoprovidedadditional problemsfor studentsto work at the endofchapters., From reviews of the first edition:"well organized . . .

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
