1.0 out of 5 stars Shallow and superficial, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Handbook of Environmental Analysis: Chemical Pollutants in Air, Water, Soil, and Solid Wastes (Hardcover)

A superficial attempt to garner book sales based on the title "Handbook of Environmental Analysis", in its 3rd edition by Genium Publishing at the time of this publication. The other alternative is that the author was so unaware of the environmental industry that he had never heard of the book.
