it's still the ultimate toxicology book.......2007-09-09
there is not that much to say, really. Casarett & Doull's Tox book has been THE toxicology textbook for the past years. This edition has a few additions and changes, but not that many, so older editions are still worthwhile. However, anyone in the environmental science field, toxicology, carcinogenesis or related subjects, you should have this as a reference book. period.
Hopeless.......2007-06-12
As a doctoral graduate in toxicology and now a practicing preclinical toxicologist for several years, I rate this book not only as "poor", but poorer with each new edition.
Consider Goodman & Gilman's Pharmacology. Like C&D, it is a text with nearly as many authors as chapters, and covers diverse subject material. UNlike G&G, though, Casarett & Doull's painfully lacks the editorial wisdom, guidance, and "tie-together" of the exceedingly disparate chapters. As a result, there is a lot of overlap, and a lot of gaps.
In case you graduate students haven't figured it out, this book is essentially the manual for the ABT cert exam. In my opinion, that is the only thing keeping it in print. Otherwise most of us in practice would have a book that covers chapter 6, and then separate references for our area of work. As a preclinical toxicologist, for example, I couldn't give two hoots in hell about air pollution or toxic effects of plants.
If you can only buy 1 toxicology reference, make it this one.......2004-08-25
I found this to be an outstanding and thorough treatment of the entire gamut of toxicology. The book is well organized, with a very logical sequence of chapters. Each chapter is authored by recognized experts in the various subspecialties of toxicology, such as neurotoxicology. The principles and model systems of each specialty are discussed in detail. This text contains no fluff. I recommend it for graduate level students and above, though ambitious undergraduates may find it useful as well. My only suggestions for improvement would be updated figures and a glossary of terms. I sometimes found that authors of the earlier chapters would use terms which were not defined until later chapters. Overall, this is an excellent reference--well worth the price.
errors in the book.......2004-04-27
That is a good book for the beginner of toxicologist. However, many existed errors may mislead and confuse the beginners. So I recommend that we'd wait for next edition.
Many errors.......2004-04-27

Concept for Municipal and Hazardous Solid Waste Management........2000-09-13
I am interested in your subject and content. I am Secretary of Society of Environmental Journalists - Nepal(SEJ-Nepal). It is our pleasure to introduce Society of Environmental Journalists-Nepal (SEJ-Nepal) as one of the leading non-governmental organization working for the environmental conservation of the country. Since its establishment in 1993 with a group of journalists and environmentalists, SEJ -Nepal has organized various programs on different burning issues of environment. Generally, SEJ-Nepal is organizing - Training, Interaction, Seminar, Workshop, Talk Program, etc. together with Research and Observation Visit. The delegation teams on behalf of the organization also met the concern personalities and organization to aware and pressurize them to wards the various environmental issues for time to time. Beside these, Society is conducting a huge media campaigning to bring the public awareness through its own TV (every Friday at 8:10 AM in Image Channel) and FM (every Saturday at 5:30 PM in K.A.T.H. 97.9) program called BATABARAN SANCHAR. For your kind information, recently we are going to organize two days national workshop on "SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS OF MUNICIPALITIES & HOSPITALS AND ITS IMPACT ON HEALTH" from September 17-18, 2000 (Aswin 1-2, 2057). This workshop will provide the good floor for the brain storming between the concern organizations, experts like government, municipalities, hospitals, other concern INGOs, NGOs and environmentalists to sort out the major problems on the subject and its solution. So I am interested to gain more information and technical practices around the world for the general and hazardous solid waste management. I found your book more informative,sound and relevant in present context as it helps to know the findings on Solid Waste Management. Hope to share with you more.
Knowledge for a new world.......2000-08-21
Knowing the helth damages that solid wastes can do if they are not correctly disposed, is an important way of preserving our world. Nothing is more important than preserving our health. Some contaminant problems are irreversible ! Wake up now!

Book Description
This concise introduction to environmental science uses basic and easily comprehendible scientific laws, principles, and concepts to help students understand environmental and resource problems and possible solutions to these problems. It is a shorter alternative to Miller's LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT (which is 864 pages long). It includes many full-color illustrations and photographs and a writing style that is clear, personal, and lively. Extensive reviewing by hundreds of experts and Miller's careful research covering more than 10,000 sources ensure the text's accuracy and currency. The book's 412 illustrations are designed to present complex ideas in understandable ways and to relate learning to the real world. During the early 1970's, Miller's texts helped shape and define the environmental science course. Since 1975 Miller's books have been the most widely used environmental science texts in the United States and the world. His books have been published in five languages and have been used by more than two million students.

New.......2006-07-19
Environmental Science/Tenth Edition.Excellent condition. No highlighting, torn pages or other marks. Sealed CD (Interactive Concepts in Environmental Science) included with book.
A great text for teaching Environmental Science.......2006-05-05
I began teaching with Miller's thicker text "living in the environment" but found that the main material was covered by this thinner and less expensive version. The graphics are helpful and the students enjoy reading the material as it is presented in an accessible and applicable fashion. The guest essays and case studies are from some of the top names speaking at conferences and so students are getting some really current views and information. Although there is not much of a lab book or teacher text-- there are plenty of other sources for field work and activity inspiration. The students also liked the website for activities and practice problems.
Excellent from multiple excellent thoughts ..........2006-03-01
Thyler Miller's books (I have 5 of them) are always the source of inspiration for me. I started reading his book when I took my Environmental Health Class for my Master of Public Helath Program.
The contents are clear, concise, correct, courtesy and full with critical thouught that has facilitated my curiosity to know more and more ....

explains issues like population growth and global warming.......2006-02-25
Miller stresses the intricate interrelationships with the Earth's environment. Vital issues like population growth and its impact on the environment are gone into. Here, there is perhaps cautious optimism. But only if we as a species moderate our growth rate (maybe even turn it negative!) and resource consumption.
There is a natural flow from this issue to a discussion about global warming. The scientific basis for concern is explained, and the evidence for warming presented. While not absolutely conclusive, it is seen as very strong. In fact, in the 5 years since the book came out, even more evidence has appeared to indicate a continuing and possibly accelerating trend. Miller also suggests several ways that global warming might be slowed.

Not everyone is so smart.......2007-04-05
For a start, when I look for a textbook, I'd like to learn both the theory and the application. I'd like to know how to apply what I learn to a real life setting - which I believe is the sole purpose of any textbook.
Terry Sturm's book fulfills the first part very well - his theorectical overview and insights into open channel flow equations is fantastical. We have integrations, advanced formulae, control volume diagrams and definition of equations. Linear momentum, vector sum of forces blah blah blah.
What we don't have however, are explanations what everything means (which I suspect is left up to the Professor of the Day). It's just regurgitated facts. After then end of an oversaturated chapter, guess what. You don't get examples, instead you get a whole set of problems (with no solutions) - which you are expected to solve by deriving some other equation from the already extensive list of textbook equations. Make sense? I think not.
That unless you come into the field of open channel hydraulics with a foreknowledge of fundamentals, don't expect anything to make any sense. That plus the outrageous price of the book makes me want to return this.
excellent experience.......2005-09-06
Received the book that i bought in 1.5 weeks and with no hassels.
very helpful.......2004-02-16
In a world where engineering texts burn one's eyes like a Saharan sandstorm, Sturm's Open Channel Hydraulics provides rivers of soothing relief. Concise, to the point, and utterly compelling, it stands as a towering example of an engineer in full command of his prodigous talent. Read it and be powerfully enlightened.
Diagrams Please!.......2003-12-22
The text was ok except for the fact that the chapter problems did not include any illustrations. A lot of time the students had to guess at exactly what Sturm meant. Towards the end of the course it became routine for us to work the problem first and then check in the teacher's key to make sure that we set it up the way Sturm meant for us to. The class was made of seniors and graduate students.
Another problem is that often the student had to infer how Sturm wanted the reader to use the numerous charts based on empirical data. Sturm wasn't always explicit and that caused problems in getting correct values off them.
To be fair, this is a first edition and there are bound to be errors. Hopefully, the next edition is better. My professor loved this book stating that "Sturm gets to the point." He used Chow and Henderson's texts to supplement this book which helped a lot. There were computer programs and examples of their use in the book which I enjoyed and will prove useful to me in the future.
Dam Good.......2001-03-11
This is a dam good book. For those aficionados of hydraulics (such as myself), this book is liberating. Masterful work!

Environmental Policy: New Directions For the Twenty-First Century
ASIN: 0130930857 |
Book Description
This clearly written, easy-to-read book offers a practical introduction to the topics of water supply, waste management, and pollution control. Because of the wide scope of the subject matter, the author has included review sections so that readers with little knowledge of biology, chemistry, geology, or hydraulics can comprehend and use this book, and mathematical topics are introduced at a relatively basic level. An overview of environmental technology introduces the book, and includes a discussion of public health, ecology, geology, and soils. The book then focuses on water and wastewater topics, including hydraulics and hydrology, water quality and water pollution, drinking water treatment and distribution, sewage collection, sewage treatment and disposal, and stormwater water management. Municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, air pollution, and noise pollution are also discussed. For individuals working in the fields of environmental quality control and public health protection, as well as civil engineers, wastewater technicians, and water treatment professionals.

I use this text in my course "Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment" It includes some chapters beyond the scope of the course, but there is enough "good stuff" in the first 10-11 chapters to make it appropriate. I hope this text is updated every few years to include new material. The style is clear and has numerous graphics and problems to help the student.

The Practice of Reservoir Engineering (Revised Edition) (Developments in Petroleum Science)
ASIN: 0976511363 |
Book Description
Reservoir Simulations Handbook is one of the best tools that the reservoir engineer has at his disposal, allowing the engineer and geologist to create the most efficient and cost effective plan possible for drilling and production. If your simulation is faulty, too general or inaccurate in any way, this can affect the production, cost and time spent at the site, which affects the bottom line. Any of these problems can happen when a simulation is generated from a program that is outdated, an unproven method or even a set of equations that use too much guesswork. This book offers a practical, real-world approach to solving reservoir simulation problems. As a reference for the engineer in the field, it offers a new approach using more mathematical models for the engineer to devise his or her own approach to a particular problem.

Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Reuse
ASIN: 1566705339 |
Book Description
This third edition updates and expands the material presented in the best-selling first and second editions of Basic Hazardous Waste Management. It covers health and safety issues affecting hazardous waste workers, management and regulation of radioactive and biomedical/infectious wastes, as well as current trends in technologies. While the topics have been completely revised, the author employs the same practical approach that made the previous editions so popular. Chapters are structured to first outline the issue, subject, or technology, then to describe generic practice, and then to conclude with a summary of the statutory or regulatory approach. Blackman introduces fundamental issues such as human health hazards; the environmental impacts of toxic, reactive, and ignitable materials; the mobility, pathways and fates of released hazardous materials; and the roles of science, technology, and risk assessment in the standards-setting process. He explores hazardous waste site remediation technology, and the application of federal statutes, regulations, programs, and policies to the cleanup of contaminated sites. This text provides an introductory framework-which can serve as the foundation for a program of study in traditional as well as modern hazardous waste management-or a component of a related program. Its overview format provides numerous references to more detailed materials to assist the student or instructor in expansion on specific topics.
