Description for Environmental Biology for Engineers and Scientists
Hardcover. Introducing environmental engineers and scientists (chemists, physicists, geologists, environmental planners, etc. ) to biology, Environmental Biology for Engineers and Scientists covers a far wider range of biology than has historically been taught to environmental engineers and offers a way to train future environmental engineers. Num Pages: 960 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PSAF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 262 x 180 x 49. Weight in Grams: 1711.
The growth of the environmental sciences has greatly expanded the scope of biological disciplines today's engineers have to deal with. Yet, despite its fundamental importance, the full breadth of biology has been given short shrift in most environmental engineering and science courses.
Filling this gap in the professional literature, Environmental Biology for Engineers and Scientists introduces students of chemistry, physics, geology, and environmental engineering to a broad range of biological concepts they may not otherwise be exposed to in their training. Based on a graduate-level course designed to teach engineers to be literate in biological concepts and ... Read more

Reviews for Environmental Biology for Engineers and Scientists
"…this is a great text that covers a multitude of topics well, and is well written and comprehensive. I predict it will be popular as a text for environmental engineering students." (Journal of Hazardous Materials, August 2006) "…a resource for a two-semester course but can be used as an outline…for a single-semester course…highly recommended." (CHOICE, May 2006) ... Read more
