This 1974 handbook is the first in a series on the nature and effects of the environmental phenomena. This book introduces the importance of the environment; i.e., its effects, the factors of the environment, the complex combinations of the environment that occur, quantitative environmental concepts, and the testing of materiel and simulation of the environment. The categorization of materiel as it exists and relates to environmental effects is also discussed. This book introduces in a general and qualitative manner those factors that are to be treated quantitatively in the succeeding volumes. This handbook provides scientists, engineers, military and civilian personnel with an introduction to the environment faced by the military and the effects on materiel or materiel requirements.
