Spellman (environmental health, Old Dominion U., Virginia) updates his comprehensive reference for general readers and students, a companion to his analogous work on water. He takes the position that air is the primary substance and sustenance of most life on earth, and is too precious to abuse, pollute, and ignore. His paradigm is based on real-world experience rather than theoretical abstractions. No date is noted for the first edition, but this second has expanded coverage of such matters as mathematics, physics, and airflow parameters, and a special emphasis on indoor air quality. After outlining the fundamental chemistry and physics of air as a gas and as particles, he turns to atmospheric science and such topics as precipitation and evapo-transpiration, the atmosphere is motion, and microclimates. A final section focuses on air quality, discussing its management, air pollution control technology, and other topics. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
