This review is from: Introduction to Environmental Engineering (Paperback)

Yes, this is the international version, but there is no difference between this and the hardcover. All page numbers, units, and sample problems are exactly the same. I own both versions and it is definitely worth the savings to get the paperback.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to environmental practicioners, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Introduction to Environmental Engineering (Hardcover)

The book is very helpful to me in my job. It serves as a very helpful reference material, just short of a handbook. It provides clear and concise explanations on topics you need to know. Even layman, with a minimal technical background, can easily understand the terms and concepts.

This review is from: Introduction to Environmental Engineering (Mcgraw Hill Series in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering) (Hardcover)

I waited more than a month for this book. On other used book e-stores the items usually takes a week. Also the item condition was classified GOOD but it had unerasable remarks and children scratches that make unreadble some contents. Very disappointed with this purchase.
