Measuring the Natural Environment
Editorial Reviews
Review
'The author's intent is to provide a complete view of the practical side of collecting environmental data, so that anyone using these data will have a good understanding of their inherent limitations and errors. He has succeeded and has produced a book that should be valuable for many present and future environmental scientists ... this is an excellent handbook on environmental data acquisition. I recommend it to anyone who has a role in environmental science.' The Leading Edge
'Most meteorologists could benefit from this book ... It is well written and although aimed at a professional readership it is easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone interested in environmental sciences who needs an overview of environmental instrumentation.' Weather
'The book will be of use to lecturers and supervisors in academe who need to give students a rapid learning curve prior to field experiments and projects. Its style is appealing to those with little prior knowledge.' International Journal of Climatology
