Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book contains the papers presented at a colloquium held in memory of professor Pedro Ripa on the first anniversary of this sudden death. … The book is written in a precise and very readable style; there are many useful reflections and figures throughout. … could be recommended not only to researchers but generally to all scientists and graduate students interested in various aspects of environmental sciences." (Andrzej Icha, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 165, 2008)
