This book sparked my scientific curiosity early as a graduate student and started me on my long journey into the basic physics of the climate system. As Climate Science has evolved into Earth System Science, I am still in awe of the complex behavior of the full Earth system and how the Earth's components interact through basic physics, chemistry, and biology. The basic principles in each of these sciences help provide a richer understanding of the past, present, and future climates.
