Introduction to Environmental Engineering and Science (3rd Edition) Review

Generic and simple. I took a required class in basic environmental engineering and was pretty happy with this book. It's simple to use and does not assume and prior knowledge of environmental engineering besides common sense. Everything is explained well and without indulging into the never ending and unnecessary details as a lot of text books do. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the author wasn't trying to push an agenda (something I thought came standard with any book dealing with the environment). All of the information was objective and discussed from a neutral "know what it is, and what it does, and why" perspective. The chapter about global warming actually almost seemed to downplay the artificial and hyped up urgency and extent of the issue by focusing on only on the numbers and nothing else. Not math intensive at all except maybe a few rates of growth/decay. Solid intro course book. However if you're not interested in the subject to begin with, this book won't change that.

Introduction to Environmental Engineering and Science (3rd Edition) Overview

Appropriate for undergraduate engineering and science courses in Environmental Engineering. Balanced coverage of all the major categories of environmental pollution, with coverage of current topics such as climate change and ozone depletion, risk assessment, indoor air quality, source-reduction and recycling, and groundwater contamination.

Effective - Pablo Lopez - Stanford, CA
This book is easy to get through and explains the equations that you need well. I'm using it for a class right now, but it is a great intro book for environmental engineering.



Good - David W. Vilcherrez Jr. - Merced, CA USA
The book was very good, looked like new, even though it said there were marks, there seemed like there wasn't any. It came at a reasonably good time.



Just as promised, thanks - Mavoc - Anoka, MN USA
the book arrived when and how they said it would in the condition they promised. Thanks!
