5.0 out of 5 stars My most dogeared book to date!, 9 Oct 2002

By A Customer

As first year students on a BSc Environmental course, this book proved invaluable accross all of our course modules. Not only does the text provide a clear explanation of the subject, it also has plenty of material to reference into your own work.
Now in the second year this is still one of my most used books. It is a must for anybody looking at the science of the environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear concise dictionary for any student, 13 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dictionary of Environmental Science and Technology (Paperback)

This book has probably been the most useful reference book I have ever owned. The definitions given have all been clear and precise and have assisted me greatly in my understanding of the subject. Many of the definitions also indicate that further information is available elswhere in the book. At times reading this book is a bit like surfing the WEB, you start on one subject and then get gently lead along a path and end up at a different (although connected) subject. Although I have been using this book to assist with course work I believe that it would be of great use to anyone interested in technolgy and science. Its a great book to have around when reading one of the science magazines. I strongly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential Ref for Environment & Engineering Professionals, 2 Oct 2001

By	Marie Simpson "Ree" (Denbigh, Wales) - See all my reviews

This book is a recommended text for several level 2 and 3 courses run by Open University and has been a fountain of knowledge for essays, major assignments and subsequent professional reports. I own the second edition of this book, the third edition promises to be crammed with up-to-the minute references, text and diagrams. Environmental students and professionals from all sectors, civil engineers, planners and site facilities managers with a vested interest in environmental management should own this essential text. Also has a good section on ISO14001.
