We take it for granted, but without it we perish
and if we continue to abuse it, it may kill us in the
end. Unrivalled in its approach, this book gives a
comprehensive account and explanation of the phenomena,
behaviour and properties of air and addresses aspects of a
fascinating subject not previously served in other publications.
The text provides an understanding and appreciation of the role
that air plays in our environment and its importance in relation
to human life and technology. It contains no mathematical
equations and relies upon the qualitative descriptions and
analogies to explain the more technical parts of the text
together with simple home experiments to illustrate a range of
air-based phenomena. Liberally illustrated with a range of line
drawings and photographs, it recommends further reading for
those who are motivated to learn more and offers invaluable
background reading for physics teachers, sixth form and first
year undergraduate students and those who are scientifically
curious but have no specialist training.
