Reviews
Concise text. This book provides an excellent overview of environmental chemistry and processes, but I'm not sure where its place lies in college education. In most cases, it gives a relatively technical account of the topic, too technical for use in a non-majors course, but not technical enough or extensive enough for a complete course in environmental chemistry. Could possibly be a used as a supplemental text.
Contains good box illustrations and comparisons, but is not quantitative. No end-of-chapter problems.
