Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Focused on current environmental problems, their causes, effects, and solutions, this text explores the basic nature of the natural systems. Using a technical (quantitative) approach - unusual for a book at the introductory level - it maintains a broad perspective that appeals to all students, but at the same time is useful to those proceeding further in environmental or sanitary engineering. *features unusually broad and balanced coverage of topics: in addition to the traditional topics of water quality, wastewater treatment, and air pollution, it explains the root causes of environmental problems and clarifies the relationships between natural systems and technology. *provides discussions on solid and hazardous wastes, environmental management, and ethics - topics seldom found in a single text. *offers an authoritative perspective on both theory and practice: the authors are world renowned scientists and engineers with academic and practical experience in environmental matters. *NEW - discusses the changing role of technology - e.g., preventive technology as an alternative to traditional end-of-pipe solutions. *NEW - considers recent data on the causes of environmental proble
