Miller, D H

A separate abstract was prepared for 1 of the 23 chapters of this book which examines the manner in which the biological, physical, and cultural systems that mantle the earth receive, transform, and give off energy. Those chapters not covered by abstracts deal with the manner in which solar and long wave radiations are absorbed, converted, and used by ecosystems. (KRM)
