Consider a Spherical Cow
A Course inEnvironmental Problem Solving
John Harte
University of California, Berkeley
'Spherical Cow is an excellent guide to the veryimportant art of quickly finding approximate answers to problemssuch as 'what was the pH of rainfall before theIndustrial Revolution?' This book illustrates step-by-stephow to solve dozens of problems of this type.'
--Journal of Chemical Information & Computational Science
'This book should be read and used by all students ofenvironmental studies, and should be an important acquisition forany research, teaching, or general academic library.'
--Choice
This innovative compendium offers a variety of techniques forapproaching contemporary environmental problems. Challenging,real-world situations and worked-out solutions provide the meansboth for gaining insights into the process of problem solving andfor thinking quantitatively and creatively about suchenvironmental concerns as energy and water resources, foodproduction, indoor air pollution, acid rain, and human influenceson climate.
About the Author:
For more than two decades, John Harte has taught courses on the quantitative aspects of environmental science at University of California, Berkeley, where he holds the Distinguished Class of 1935 Professorship in the Energy and Resources Group. His previous book, Consider a Spherical Cow, became a landmark text in the field. He is also the author of The Green Fuse and co-author of Patient Earth and Toxics A to Z. He has published numerous articles on ecology and biodiversity, water and other resources, climate change and its effects, acid precipitation, and environmental policy. John Harte received his B.A. from Harvard University and his PhD in physics from the University of Wisconsin.
