Overview
This book covers the fundamentals of environmental engineering and applications in water quality, air quality, and hazardous waste management. It begins by describing the fundamental principles that serve as the foundation of the entire field of environmental engineering. Readers are then systematically reintroduced to these fundamentals in a manner that is tailored to the needs of environmental engineers, and that is not too closely tied to any specific application.Editorials

Based on their own one-semester, upper-division courses, Nazaroff and Alvarez-Cohen (both U. of California-Berkeley) offer a textbook introducing engineering students to environmental engineering. They expect students to have a solid scientific and mathematical preparation typical of the lower-division requirements of engineering programs: calculus, differential equations, physics, and chemistry; some exposure to fluid mechanics and biology would also be nice. The text would also be useful to students entering a graduate program in environmental engineering from another field. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
