New Book Announcement: Davis--Principles of Environmental Engineering and Science, 2e (Indian Reprint)

URL: - www.mheducation.co.in





Science, Engineering & Mathematics Principles of Environmental Engineering and Science by Mackenzie Davis and Susan Marten in intended for a course in introductory environmental engineering for sophomore-or junior - level students. The emphasis of this text is on the principles that guide decision making in environmental engineering. The concept of mass balance extends throughout the text as a tool for problem solving, and the text boasts extensive coverage of chemistry, biology, and hydrology. Principles’ chemistry and biology reviews, along with the coverage of ethics, will aid students in gaining a better understanding of the engineering and science topics presented in the book. FEATURES A Focus on concepts and definitions with abundant illustrations and examples. Scientific principles are emphasized and design aspects are discussed in abbreviated form, freeing the student to focus on environmental applications. A new chapter on biology. The biology review provides students with a review of the biological concepts relevant to environmental engineers and environmental scientists. Chemistry review chapter. The overview of chemistry principles reinforces students’ skill set as they begin to tackle environmental engineering and science problems. Mass balance as a tool for problem solving. This theme motivates much of the text discussion and ties together a variety of subject areas, for example, hydrology, soil, water quality, and waste audits, to name a few. Chapters on ecosystems, sustainable energy, geological, and soil resources, and risk perception, assessment, and management. These topics are of crucial importance to environmental engineering, science, and related disciplines. Principles’ coverage here is unparalleled. Case studies that aid student learning. The case studies provide the student with examples that demonstrate one or more of the principles in a real-life setting. NEW TO THIS EDITION Chapter on Biology Case Studies. Updated science and technology discussion to reflect latest trends. Increased number of problems at the end of each chapter.
