I bought this book to supplement the textbook for a radiation course I was enrolled in. This should have been the book used in the course as it was very clear and made some of the more complex topics easy for an advanced undergraduate audience. Some of the problems could be slightly improved, but this is on the same level as the thermodynamics book by this author. 'A First Course in Atmospheric Radiation' will be on my shelf for many years as a handy reference when I need some quick, accurate, and understandable radiation information.
