Suitable for undergraduates, this title is well written and illustrated.
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.
