The standard-setting classic just got better! Completely revised and updated since the publication of the sixth edition, Environmental Chemistry, Seventh Edition contains eight new chapters, with significant emphasis on industrial ecology as it relates to the emerging area of "green" chemistry. It also discusses the concept of the anthrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment.
The new chapters in the Seventh Edition include:
  • The Anthrosphere, Industrial Ecosystems, and
  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Principles of Industrial Ecology
  • Industrial Ecology, Resources, and Energy
  • Industrial Ecology for Waste Minimization, Utilization, and Treatment
  • Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastewater
  • Chemical Analysis of Wastes and Solids
  • Air and Gas Analysis
  • Chemical Analysis of Biological Materials
  • Xenobiotics
    Many professionals in environmental chemistry today began their studies with this definitive textbook. Now this benchmark resource has even more to offer. It gives your students a basic understanding of the science and its applications. In addition to providing updated materials in this rapidly developing field, the Seventh Edition emphasizes the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental chemistry at the beginning of the new millennium.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference Text; Poor Class Text, June 19, 2000
    I used this text a few years ago when I was writing a paper on ethics of pesticide use, and it certainly details information well. However, the general tone is often anal and the writing style is extremely drab. Most of the diagrams included were generated using low-budget graphics software, and it shows. At 811 pages, this is an overly long book and not all the chapters (24 total) can be covered in a single Echem course. Also, there is no solutions manual and the problems Manahan gives are challening (a section of numerical solutions placed in the back of the text would have been nice...) This is a good reference text, but if you're looking for a semester-long or short-term text to use for an Echem course, use Baird's text, not Manahan's.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Text is good in introduction of topics, poor for advanced, June 26, 1999
    By 
    veenhuis@umich.edu (Grand Blanc, Michigan) - See all my reviews
    Text gives good introduction to concepts only and not good for advanced studies because not explain how to apply the concepts to real world problems. It lacks in calculations needed to sovle problems and has no solution guide for the questions that are in the text. A lot of reference texts will be needed to solve the problems. No periodic table found in the text or conversion chart in the text which is very poor for a chemistry text. But it is an excellent text for learning the concepts of environmental chemistry.

    3.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to modern topics in e-chem., June 19, 1999
    By A Customer
    Manahan compiles many sources of information into one, easy to follow and compact reference. The only limitation of the text is the absence of sample calculations for solving the problems that come at the end of each chapter. Reference to a solutions guide would be helpful.
