PRINCIPLES OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING-----PHI
Primarily
intended as a text for undergraduate students of engineering for their
core course in environmental studies, this book gives a clear
introduction to the fundamental principles of ecology and environmental
science and aptly summarizes the relationship between ecology and
environmental engineering.
Divided into three parts, the book begins
by discussing the biosphere, natural resources, ecosystems,
biodiversity, and community health. Then it goes on to give detailed
description on topics such as pollution and control, environmental
management, and sustainable development. Finally, it focuses on
environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, and monitoring and
analysis of pollutants.
• Key words and summary at the end of each chapter provide the students an easy way of recapitulation.
• A large number of figures illustrate the topics discussed.
• Projects of environmental concern suggested at the end of the book
enable the students to work in field projects. Besides engineering
students, undergraduate students in other streams, practicing engineers
and professionals would find the text immensely useful.
