This review is from: Practical Handbook of Compost Engineering (Hardcover)
This is a truly unique book. It brings a strong technical and industrial perspective to an ancient practice: composting organic waste. Filled with practical examples of large-scale composting systems from municipalities and industrial facilities, Haug provides a wealth of information for anyone seeking to implement composting on an large scale.One of the things I really appreciate about Haug's style and presentation is how he does not take basic theoretical matters for granted. For example, he spends an entire chapter (3) on the fundamentals of thermodynamics, including one of the clearest explanations of the Second Law of Thermodynamics I've ever read. As a teacher, I am a firm believer in the value of review: even for those who know these basic principles well, there is merit in explaining them over especially when placed in a context (in this case, aerobic decomposition of organic matter) that is different from what one might encounter in a typical basic chemistry text. |
