Environmental Engineering: Fundamentals, Sustainability, Design
Civil engineers are introduced to chemistry and biology through a mass and energy balance approach with this book. It covers ABET required topics of emerging importance, such as sustainable and global engineering. Problems are integrated at the end of the chapters that are similar to those on the FE and PE exams. In addition, readers will have access to Web modules, which address a specific topic, such as water and wastewater treatment. The modules include rich content such as animations, audio,

Environmental engineering is concerned with the quality of land, air and water, and engineers primarily investigate contaminants for each one of these items. Find out how environmental engineers research those things in the environment that affect our health with help from a solid waste planning engineer and recycling program coordinator in this free video on environmental engineering.

This book is missing out on crucial elements to solving problems in the book. There are several chemistry problems that need the molar weight but there is not a periodic table in the book.

As an environmental engineer with a 25+ years actual practice, I have to say that this book is one of the best in the field. The book addresses almost (for not saying all) the environmental engineering field issues, adding the extremely-important environmental sustainability focus to our practice. “Old” principles (such as wastewater engineering and potable water treatment) are addressed, as well as the more-recent aspects. The focus of the book is practical; it does not enter into the “too-complex” issues that (in my opinion) do not help that much the actual practitioner. The book is excellent for both the environmental engineering student (the format is focused to the actual classroom, with exercises, problems, etc.), as well as for the experienced EE practitioners (which should acquire knowledge of the environmental sustainability field). Thanks to the authors and publishers for developing this book!!!!

the book is very interesting, It is well written so you don’t fall asleep while you read it. It talks about important issues. still havent gone through the problems. I’ve also met the author! and he is very inspiring.

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.

I found this to be a great survey text for environmental engineering. I purchased it for my intro class and it served as a good reference for basic math and chemistry needed for my classes. I found that it explained the general chemistry (e.g. ammonia striping, carbonate chemistry, and acid-base chemistry) more clear and with better examples that my higher level texts. It gives a good foundation and basis for further study, but, again, it is definitely and intro level text and not recommended for anything higher than a 300-level course.

This book is a great undergraduate level introduction to the concepts in environmental engineering. The various issues are explained in clear English. The text applies college level math and science to environmental issues. Overall, it is an textbook that can help a student figure out if he or she would like to study environmental engineering, and gives the studen context for further study.
Review by N. Skachkov for Introduction to Environmental Engineering and Science (3rd Edition)
Rating:
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.

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.
