Overview

This volume presents the results and conclusions of the Application Project of EUROTRAC about the state of the troposphere over Europe, drawing from the plethora of scientific results. The various findings and recommendations on local, regional and global scales illustrate the complexities of the situation and indicate the subsequent difficulties which face environmental policy makers seeking to find ways to abate pollution on a regional scale. The book is recommended first for the scientific and policy-related information which it contains. In addition, the book is an excellent illustration of how the scientific programme can be evaluated in order to draw conclusions which are useful in policy development.

Reviews

This book presents a very good introduction to combinatorics. It covers most aspects of enumeration and order theory, ... It is divided into three parts. The first part presents the basic material on mappings and posets... The second part deals with enumeration ... Finally the third part treats of the order-theoretic aspects ... In the text examples are given and at the end of each chapter valuable notes, also very good selected exercises. They constitute an organic part of the book. This book can warmly be recommended first of all to students interested in combinatorics. A two semester course can also be based on it. -Publicationes Mathematicae Debrecen
