5.0 out of 5 stars Good presentation of a broad topic., January 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Environmental Chemistry (Hardcover)

I am also a chemistry student and I found the book to be rather easy, but that is because the text is very clearly written with good presentation and concise wording. It is certainly a good place to start in trying to understand an environmental problem, especially if the readers background in chemistry is only on a general and limited organic level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, easy to understand, August 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Environmental Chemistry (Hardcover)

Environmetal chemistry is a very helpful book for studensts in environmental chemistry studies. But as a pure chemistry student i find some parts of the book too easy, even boring at times, specially the chapters on organic environmental chemistry.On the other hand the chapters on physical environmental chemistry are very good and contain challenging problems.

This review is from: Environmental Chemistry (Hardcover)

This text was required for a Water and Wastewater chemistry class, but the information contained in it, far surpasses what was needed for class. I kept this book as I can see myself using it again in the future.
