About this title

Review:

Even professionals with many, many years in their fields find it useful to have on hand resource and reference materials which can provide support for current activities and stimulation for new ones... Environmental Monitoring Handbook includes sections on water, soils & sediments, the atmosphere and data analysis. Edited by a group of professionals with chapters written by 42 different authors, the book provides a wealth of thoughtful approaches and solid science; an area which is only going to grow in importance in the coming years. The lead editor, Mr. Frank Burden, prefaces the book by stating that he hopes it "will stimulate a cross-fertilization of ideas across the environmental monitoring community." This cross fertilization might provide all of us a means to address many of the concerns expressed by regulators, the media and the general public, to the lasting benefit of the industry and society in general. The greatest value of the book may lie in its gathering a large variety of approaches and methods all in one place. Battery Man 20021001
