The author covers principles common to any kind of water treatment, for example, drinking water, municipal wastewater, industrial water treatment, industrial waste water treatment, and hazardous wastes. Since technologies change but principles remain constant, the book identifies strands of theory rather than discusses the latest technologies, giving students a clear understanding of basic principles they can take forward in their studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReviewing the historical development of the field and highlighting key concepts for each unit process, each chapter follows a general format that consists of process description, history, theory, practice, problems, references, and a glossary. This organizational style facilitates finding sections of immediate interest without having to page through an excessive amount of material. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePedagogical Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnd-of-chapter glossaries provide a ready reference and add terms pertinent to topic but beyond the scope of the chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSidebars sprinkled throughout the chapters present the lore and history of a topic, enlarging students' perspective \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExample problems emphasize tradeoffs and scenarios rather than single answers and involve spreadsheets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReference material includes several appendices and a quick-reference spreadsheet \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSolutions manual includes spreadsheets for problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupporting material is available for download\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding how the field arrived at its present state of the art places the technology in a more logical context and gives students a strong foundation in basic principles.
