Compelling and comprehensive coverage of the science underpinning our understanding of our climate, and how it is changing. The text is accessible to undergraduate students, requiring only a basic understanding of algebra and physical science. Starting from the basics, it incorporates the latest results from the IPCC 6th Assessment Report.

Michael Box recently retired as Associate Professor in Physics at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He has taught Atmospheric Science, and a number of advanced Physics courses. He has 100 publications, mostly in atmospheric science, with a particular focus on radiative transfer, remote sensing, and the radiative effects of aerosols. He is co-author of Physics of Radiation and Climate (CRC Press, 2016). He is a Fellow of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, and a member of AGU. His former graduate students can be found in scientific establishments in Europe and Australia. He currently teaches Adult Education courses in Sydney.
