Reviews
'It is great that there is a new book at the level of Pruppacher and Klett (1997), that discusses cloud microphysical processes in depth and captures the progress that has been made in the scientific community since then. I'll be happy to use it as a textbook in my graduate class on cloud microphysics.' Ulrike Lohmann, Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zurich, '… very valuable … suited for readers such as advanced students in atmospheric science … a very useful and popular textbook in atmospheric physics classes …' Barbara Ervens, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, "This book fills a void that exists between elementary books and those designed as references for researchers. It is the first time that a text book is published which is designed for graduate level courses and for students that are seasoned or new to the field of cloud physics and chemistry. The book describes the microphysical and mesoscale processes in clouds and their interactions in a clear and comprehensive way. Since the book is designed as a text book, each chapter is concluded with a list of references for further reading and a set of problems. The book is written in a pedagogical way in which the reader is led through the difficult topics of cloud development in a logical way which wets the appetite to investigate in more depth the outstanding issues of this fascinating field. I expect the book to be the main textbook for many years to come." Professor (Emeritus) Zev Levin, The Goldemberg Chair Professor in Atmospheric Physics, Department of Geophysics and Planetary Science, Tel Aviv University, Israel, 'This book fills a void that exists between elementary books and those designed as references for researchers.

Zev Levin, Goldemberg Chair Professor in Atmospheric Physics, Tel Aviv University, 'At long last an up-to-date textbook is now available on the physics and chemistry of clouds suitable for use by upper division undergraduate students and first-year graduate students. It has now been almost 20 years since the last book on cloud microphysics was published. But this book is so much more than a cloud microphysics book as it encompasses atmospheric chemistry and the basics for all of physical meteorology including atmospheric radiation. The book is truly designed as a textbook rather than a source book as it includes problem sets at the end of each chapter. I think that lecturers and students alike will appreciate this valuable new book.' William R.

Synopsis
This book provides a quantitative yet approachable path to learning the inner workings of clouds across a range of scales, from molecules to thunderstorms. An invaluable textbook for advanced students in atmospheric science, meteorology, environmental sciences/engineering and atmospheric chemistry, and a very useful reference text for researchers and professionals., Clouds affect our daily weather and play key roles in the global climate. Through their ability to precipitate, clouds provide virtually all of the fresh water on Earth and are a crucial link in the hydrologic cycle. With ever-increasing importance being placed on quantifiable predictions - from forecasting the local weather to anticipating climate change - we must understand how clouds operate in the real atmosphere, where interactions with natural and anthropogenic pollutants are common. This textbook provides students - whether seasoned or new to the atmospheric sciences - with a quantitative yet approachable path to learning the inner workings of clouds. Developed over many years of the authors' teaching at Pennsylvania State University, Physics and Chemistry of Clouds is an invaluable textbook for advanced students in atmospheric science, meteorology, environmental sciences/engineering and atmospheric chemistry. It is also a very useful reference text for researchers and professionals.
