Description
Systems Ecology An Introduction Howard T. Odum An integratedtheoretical and applied approach to systems ecology, usingdiagrammatic language to explain basic concepts of systems,modeling, and simulation. It presents simple and moderatecomplexity models as the ones of primary utility in theory andpractice; combines energetics and kinetics, rather than viewingthem separately; and generalizes concepts of ecosystems andeconomic systems, among its many vital features. (0 471 65277-6)1983 Ecogenetics Genetic Variation in Susceptibility toEnvironmental Agents Edward J. Calabrese The most comprehensive andup-to-date assessment of how genetic factors affect susceptibilityto environmental agents. The book provides an objective criticalevaluation of current scientific literature on the subject, withparticular emphasis on those a gents typically consideredpollutants. (0 471 89112-6) 1984 Chemodynamics EnvironmentalMovement of Chemicals in Air, Water and Soil Louis J. ThibodeauxThis book describes the nature and processes of the transport ofpollutants throughout the environment. It examines equilibrium atenvironmental interfaces, transport fundamentals, and the chemicalexchange rates between air and water, water and the adjoiningearthen material, air and soil, as well as intraphase chemicalexchange rates. (0 471 04720-1) 1979 Environmental Engineering andSanitation, 3rd Edition Joseph A. Salvato A totally updated editionof the standard guide to sanitary and environmental engineeringprinciples and their practical applications. It covers virtuallyevery problem encountered in the design, construction, maintenance,and operation of sanitation plants and structures. New featuresinclude updated material on water reclamation and reuse, on-sitesewage disposal, protection of groundwater quality, and more. (0471 04942-5) 1982 Aquatic Chemistry An Introduction EmphasizingChemical Equilibria in Natural Waters, 2nd Edition Werner J. Stumm& James J. Morgan This new edition of the recognized classiccrystallizes the enormous and growing flood of data and theory thathas accompanied the maturation of this field. New features includeincreased attention to steady-state and dynamic models employingmass-balance approaches and kinetic information; a new chapter onenvironmental considerations; expanded compilation of thermodynamicdata; and more.(0 471 04831-3)1981Cloth(0 471 09173-1)1981Paper
