Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
An introduction to the basic principles of atmospheric physics and chemistry, presented for a motivated physics or chemistry major, having no prior knowlegde of the subject. All aspects of the lower and middle atmospheres, except for large-scale dynamics, are treated in a connected account as ultimate consequences of the solar radiation falling on the planet.
MoreLong description:
This undergraduate text provides an introduction to the basic principles of atmospheric physics and chemistry. It allows a physics or chemistry undergraduate, without previous knowledge of the subject, to enter the subject at a fairly advanced level. It is a comprehensive text outlining the subject from the formation of the solar system to the present state of the atmosphere. All aspects of the lower and middle atmospheres, except for large-scale dynamics, are
treated in a connected account as ultimate consequences of the solar radiation falling on the planet.
Few books exist that seek to penetrate to the physics and chemistry underlying the hyperbole which is why I am pleased to welcome this excellent book. The book is well laid out, and includes a reading list and a set of problems at the end of each chapter, which is excellent practice. An interesting and valuable book. It will be an extremely useful aid to teachers of atmospheric physics and chemistry, as well as graduates and advanced undergraduate students. It
will almost certainly become an essential part of the library of any teacher or researcher in the atmospheric sciences. Physics World, September 1996
