ALPINE PHYSICS: SCIENCE IN THE MOUNTAIN ENVIRONMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 14600019C00016

English Summary/英文概要： This unique volume applies physics and basic science to the mountain environment and is written in a non-technical language for curious laypeople who wonder why or how natural phenomena happen, and what their scientific explanation may be. The book discusses physics in a non-specialized way. Alpine Physics is mostly organized in categories relevant for non-scientists with an interest in alpine environments.

Intuitive decision-making is often just grounded in plain common sense, to which mountain and nature lovers relate easily, especially when involving high-stakes decisions based on the estimation of such a treacherous environment. The book highlights how this intuitive decision-making can be complemented and augmented by basic scientific knowledge, and with better understanding it leads one to become a rational decision-maker.

The book stimulates its readers to reason and discover why things are the way they are, at high altitudes, where many risk factors are aggravated, often dramatically, by steep gradients. The writing style marries that of the conventional science textbook and that of the informal North-American climbing guidebooks.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书是第一本针对高山环境下基础物理学及其他科学的应用内容的学术图书，也是当前市场上该领域内唯一一本学术作品，具有独特性；*与一般学术图书中充满专业术语并要求读者有专业背景知识的情况不同，本书作者旨在使非专业人员也能通过阅读本书学习到高山环境中的科学应用。书中结合了大量的户外实例，帮助读者掌握相关知识，并激发读者探索自然、登上高山的热情；*本书适合读者广泛，不仅适宜物理学类研究机构图书馆，也适宜高山俱乐部、户外俱乐部、登山俱乐部、山地协会等专业屋外组织或协会。
