An impressively international array of scientists are the contributors to this superb 6-volume resource on geoscience in Asia and the tropics worldwide. Each volume has its own editor and is devoted to a specific area of science--atmospheric (Jai Ho Oh, editor), hydrological (Namsik Park), ocean (Jianping Gan), solid earth (Kenji Satake), solar terrestrial (Marc Duldig), and planetary (Anil Bhardwaj)--with the focus on issues pertinent to events impacting humans, such as storms and earthquakes. Written by specialists who discuss their own research projects, the articles supply detailed, scientific information about specific conditions and phenomena. A sampling of topics includes rainfall over Thailand during El Niño from 1997-2000; formation of tropical cyclone concentric eyewalls by wave-mean flow interactions; water properties in Fiji's Suva Lagoon; late Holocene coastal environments in Indramayu, West Java, Indonesia; stochastic generation of monthly rainfall data; post-flash flood hydrological investigation; and comparative X-Ray studies of planetary aurorae. Each chapter includes an abstract and a concluding bibliography, as well as b&w illustrations of graphs, tables, formulas, and other supporting materials. The volumes are not indexed, nor is there a cumulative index. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
