Items related to Environmental Biotechnology: Principles and Applications
In Environmental Biotechnology-Principles and Applications, the authors connect the many different facets of environmental biotechnology. The book develops the basic concepts and quantitative tools in the first six chapters, which comprise the principles. The text consistently calls upon those principles as it describes the applications in Chapters 7 through 16. The theme is that all microbiological processes behave in ways that are understandable, predictable, and unified. At the same time, each application has its own special features that must be understood. The special features do not overturn or sidestep the common principles. Instead, they complement the principles and are most profitably understood in light of the principles.

From the Publisher:
The book consistently links the fundamental principles of microbiological processes to their practical applications.
The book features many example problems that illustrate the step-by-step procedures for utilizing the tools in order to understand how microbial systems work or to design a treatment process.
Each chapter consists of many problems that can be assigned as "homework," used as supplemental examples in class, or used as study tools. The problems range in scope. Some are simple, requiring only a single calculation or a short expository answer, while others require many steps.
The text describes the traditional applications (eg.: activated sludge and anaerobic digestion) and the emerging applications(eg.: bioremediation and drinking-water treatment).

Bruce E. Rittmann is Regents' Professor of Environmental Engineering and Director of the Biodesign Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology at Arizona State University. He is the recipient of the 2018 Stockholm Water Prize and along with Dr. McCarty he was the winner of the Clarke Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Water Technology.
Perry L. McCarty is the Silas H. Palmer Professor Emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. He received a B.S. Degree in Civil Engineering from Wayne State University and S.M. and Sc.D. Degrees in Sanitary Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he taught for four years. In 1962 he joined the faculty at Stanford University. His research has been directed towards the application of biological processes for the solution of environmental problems. He is an honorary member of the American Water Works Association and the Water Environment Federation, and Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Microbiology. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1977. He received the Tyler Prize for environmental achievement in 1992 and the Clark Prize for outstanding achievement in water science and technology in 1997.
