From the reviews:

„This book covers the lectures given there by experts, presented as 17 chapters, and arranged in four parts which cover the ground specified in the book’s sub-title. … All in all, this is valuable and timely summary of the state of the art for observing and understanding the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere, which is so precious a resource to us humans.“ (M. J. Rycroft, Surveys in Geophysics, Vol. 28, 2007)
