✦ Synopsis

Monteith's book is well written, although the title is misleading. It is really a text on microclimatology intended mainly for biologists. It therefore presents first all the basic physics necessary to deal eventually with the microclimatology of crops, and it does this very well; in fact, many nonbiologists and even physicists and engineers will fmd this volume a convenient and concise introduction to the subject, as well ss a most useful reference.

The rigor is adequate, the detlnitions are precise, and there is a great deal of useful empirical information. The topics covered include the gas laws, molecular transfer processes, radiation laws, solar radiation, terrestrial radiation balances, boundary layer problems, including momentum and heat transfer, es well as all kinds of numerical formulae and data which would be hard to find elsewhere.
