Focuses on the chemistry and processes behind environmental issues such as global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, water pollution, and soil contamination. This title uses worked examples and case studies drawn from applications along with clear diagrams and concise explanations to illustrate the relevance of chemistry to geosciences.
"The book has been written with a refreshing degree of elan and didactic skill, and on the whole it succeeds well in its aim . . ."
- Dieter Lenoir, Institut für Ökologische Chemie, in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2008, Vol. 47, No. 31
". . . the work is valuable for its informational content and readable style for undergraduate coursework in chemistry, environmental, and earth sciences . . . Summing Up: Recommended."
- D. H. Stedman, University of Denver, in Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, May 2008, Vol. 45, No. 9
"Chemistry for Environmental and Earth Sciences is an original chemistry text book in the sense that it provides a friendly introduction to the basic chemistry concepts from the perspective of those environmental problems . . . The book is easy to read and fills a gap for undergraduate students of environmental and earth sciences, physical geography and geology."
- J. Albaigés, CID-CSIC, in International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, April 2008, Vol. 88, No. 5
"The book helps the environmental geochemists and engineers in their study of environmental science or earth science. It provides a student-friendly introduction to the basic chemistry used for the mitigation, remediation, and elimination of pollutants."
