Valuable text for any level
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Principles of Environmental Chemistry is an in-depth and easy to follow textbook. I recently completed an undergraduate course which used this book as the only major text, and I found it more than sufficent. It does an excellent job of providing real world applications of chemical knowledge to address the major environmental concerns of our time. It should also be noted that while I came from a strong chemistry background, some of the students in the course did not. While my knowledge certainly gave me an advantage, it was in no means necessary for understanding the text. Despite the vast coverage of chemical issues in the environment, the book is user friendly to those coming from biological or even social science backgrounds. It also offers quick reviews of organic chemistry and the like, but wisely puts such things in the appendix opposed to bogging down the chapters. I would highly recommend this textbook for any course or person seeking to explore environmental issues from a chemical perspective. It is valuable for chemistry majors and minors, but still accessible to those in other fields.
A superb resource for intermediate to advanced coursework

Principles Of Environmental Chemistry is a student-friendly textbook that focuses upon the chemical foundations of environmental science. Including analytical techniques and methods used to measure pollutants in the environment, worked-out, in-chapter problems and problem sets at the end of each chapter, chapters on fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewable energy such as hydrogen fuel cells, an appendix with a helpful review of organic chemistry, and more, Principles Of Environ-mental Chemistry is a superb resource for intermediate to advanced coursework or self-study. Extensive black-and-white illustrations and chemical equations help to crystalize the examples given in this solid and readily understandable instructional resource.
