Autorenporträt

Environmental issues are growing in importance to the most significant political, social, legal, and economic decisions. This book presents chemical analyses of our most pressing waste, pollution, and resource problems for the undergraduate or graduate student. The work fulfills an urgent need for an introductory text in environmental chemistry combining theory and practice, and is a valuable tool for preparing the next generation of environmental scientists. Its distinctive holistic approach provides both a solid ground in theory, as well as a laboratory manual detailing introductory and advanced experimental applications. The laboratory procedures are presented at microscale conditions, for minimum waste and maximum economy.

Rezensionen

Aus den Rezensionen: "Das Buch ... kann so optimal im Laborbereich als Handbuch eingesetzt werden. Insgesamt sind 24 Versuche von der Durchführung und Beschreibung eines Versuchs, einem Auswerte- und Laborberichtsvorschlag sowie ... einem Literaturverzeichnis entsprechend dargestellt. ... Das Buch ist didaktisch für diese Versuche sehr gut aufgebaut und kann hervorragend als Grundlage für Versuche herangezogen werden. ... Es ist für Studenten und Interessierte sehr zu empfehlen ... Ergänzt wird in dem Buch stets der Versuch auch durch sehr gute Literaturhinweise ..." (Herbert Pöllmann, in: der Aufschluss, 2008, Issue 4, S. 236)
