I purchased this book after looking at several on the web. Of course all you get to see is the index. The index for this book looked great so I ordered it. It is filled cover to cover with general philosophy and no real application or even a difinitive solution to a problem. Even trying to edeucate yourself on a pinpoint subject matter requires going through several chapters to get the whole scoop. I’d gladly sell mine back at a loss, but I like bon fires.

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.

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.

Very useful book. My teacher used it a lot and the examples are really helpful.
