Review
"I can strongly recommend this book as a basic text for all those who wish to gain an initial understanding of the chemistry of the Earth and the way humans are interacting with their environment."
Peter O′Neill, University of Plymouth, Progress in Physical Geography, June 2005 <!––end––>

"Overall, this book is a valuable addition to reading lists for students taking undergraduate level courses primarily in Environmental Science, but also in Physical Geography, Earth Sciences and Environmental Chemistry. It is very readable and well written."
International Journal of Climatology, April 2006
"If I had to recommend one single textbook for courses in environmental science to students and all those interested from other fields, it would be this one. It is an excellent introductory reader and learning aid."

Very Good
23 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
For beginners in environmental sciences, this book will be an excellent guide to different issues such as: Water, soil and atmosphere chemistry. Each chapter is well organized, and the structure of the book is quite easy to follow. If you are looking for some good introductory book for your undergraduate courses of environmental chemistry, well, this is your book. On the contrary, if what you need is a more detailed review of soil, water or air pollution, I recommend you to look out for a more advanced book in that specific matter.
