Chemistry of the Environment, Third Edition (Revised

Beschreibung

Chemistry of the Environment, 3rd edition, is a concise, clear and current account of today's environmental issues and the science needed to understand them. It systematically lays out themes of sustainability, atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biospheres, while stressing the interconnectedness of environmental problems and solutions.
This new edition has been extensively revised to reflect the rapid evolution of all areas of environmental science. Additionally, much of the text and organisation have been refined for enhanced clarity. New worked problems and end of chapter problems have also been included to make this an excellent university textbook.
