Reviews
'Finally a comprehensive textbook, filling an empty slot between mainly descriptive and encyclopaedic cloud physics books. It is carefully written, covering all relevant aspects, and starts from first principles in a pedagogic way: invaluable for cloud physics teachers and graduate students.' Andrea Flossmann, Universite Blaise Pascal de Clermont Ferrand
'Without hesitation I am endorsing this book. It will be a great addition to atmospheric science.' Hans R. Pruppacher, author of Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation
