About this title

Synopsis

Gain the knowledge you need to address the growing and increasingly intricate problem of controlling and processing the refuse created by global urban societies with SOLID WASTE ENGINEERING: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, 3E. While the authors prepare you to deal with issues, such as regulations and legislation, the main emphasis throughout the book is on mastering solid waste engineering principles. The book first explains the basic principles of the field and then demonstrates through worked examples how you can apply these principles in real world settings. Whether you are a graduate or advanced undergraduate student, or practicing engineer, you learn to think reflectively and logically about the problems and solutions in today's solid waste engineering.

Review

"There are more relevant photos in this text compared to my current text and in general the photos and illustrations in this text are much better than the ones in the text I am currently using...the [exercises] present a good range of difficulty."

"[The book] is written in a very simple manner and is easy to follow...the presentation is nicely done...there is a good balance between the theory, example problems, and case studies and sketches to keep students engaged...This is one of the best textbooks available on the market and the best aspect is that this book approaches the topics from engineering perspectives, where many other books are focused on management aspects."
