I was required to get this book for a class. My biggest gripe with it is that there are lots of typos and it seems as though the book did not go through an editing staff to clean it up. Also, there are a lot "fluff" sentences in the text that are merely opinions and do not add to the reader's technical understanding of the material. I would not recommend purchasing this book if you just wanted it as a reference.

I was required to buy this book for one of my classes. As a straight-A student this has been, by far, the worst written educational books I have studied. There are blatant errors in the math examples. It may be translation errors on the publisher's behalf but I find the book doesn't flow easily or understandably. If any teacher is thinking of using this book for their class then be well prepared to re-explain everything to the class.

I am writing to report that I was very satisfied with this company. They sent the book on time even before the semester started. I will buy books and other products from them in the future. Trust me they keep their promise.

Knowing the helth damages that solid wastes can do if they are not correctly disposed, is an important way of preserving our world. Nothing is more important than preserving our health. Some contaminant problems are irreversible ! Wake up now!

I am interested in your subject and content. I am Secretary of Society of Environmental Journalists - Nepal(SEJ-Nepal). It is our pleasure to introduce Society of Environmental Journalists-Nepal (SEJ-Nepal) as one of the leading non-governmental organization working for the environmental conservation of the country. Since its establishment in 1993 with a group of journalists and environmentalists, SEJ -Nepal has organized various programs on different burning issues of environment. Generally, SEJ-Nepal is organizing - Training, Interaction, Seminar, Workshop, Talk Program, etc. together with Research and Observation Visit. The delegation teams on behalf of the organization also met the concern personalities and organization to aware and pressurize them to wards the various environmental issues for time to time. Beside these, Society is conducting a huge media campaigning to bring the public awareness through its own TV (every Friday at 8:10 AM in Image Channel) and FM (every Saturday at 5:30 PM in K.A.T.H. 97.9) program called BATABARAN SANCHAR. For your kind information, recently we are going to organize two days national workshop on "SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS OF MUNICIPALITIES & HOSPITALS AND ITS IMPACT ON HEALTH" from September 17-18, 2000 (Aswin 1-2, 2057). This workshop will provide the good floor for the brain storming between the concern organizations, experts like government, municipalities, hospitals, other concern INGOs, NGOs and environmentalists to sort out the major problems on the subject and its solution. So I am interested to gain more information and technical practices around the world for the general and hazardous solid waste management. I found your book more informative,sound and relevant in present context as it helps to know the findings on Solid Waste Management. Hope to share with you more.
