5.0 out of 5 stars Best bioremediation resource., April 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bioremediation Engineering: Design and Applications (Hardcover)

I use Cookson all the time in bioremediation. The best section is the Appendix with nutrient demand calculations for any organic compound. This is the "If you can only afford one book" book.

Without a doubt, this is the best book in the industry on bioremediation engineering. It is well-written and has plenty of examples to impress the most technically astute environmental engineer or a student that is just starting to explore this topic. Dr. Cookson has developed a book that is relevant to design engineers, project managers and anyone involved in a bioremediation project. BRAVO!!
