教科书几乎从来不会让作者变得富有，格兰特·佩蒂已经在威斯康星大学担任副教授，所以他一定有急于要说的话来写《大气辐射第一课》。当然，他采取了一种不同于已有的六部关于这一主题的大部头著作的作者的方法。他的书直接面向初学者，用随意的语言写成，数学很短，物理推理和对现实世界问题的应用有很长的篇幅。这本书可能不太符合佩蒂的期望，但它将比其他任何书都更适合它的目标受众。
Textbooks almost never make their authors rich, and Grant Petty already has a day job as an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin,so he must have had something he wanted to say pretty urgently to write A First Course in Atmospheric Radiation. He has certainly taken a different approach than the authors of the half-dozen tomes that already exist on the subject. His book is aimed directly at beginning students, and it is written in casual language, short on math and long on physical reasoning and applications to real-world problems. The book may not quite live up to what Petty wants it to be, but it will suit its intended audience much better than anything else available.
