Synopsis
Spellman is the Environmental Health and Safety Manager for a wastewater sanitation district in Virginia and Whiting is a freelance technical writer who has co-authored many books with him. Here they introduce the discipline to readers with no background in science, and argue that technological advances can be used as a tool to mitigate the consequences of technological abuse of the environment. They explore connections between environmental science and technology, air quality, water quality, soil science, and the impact of solid and hazardous waste on the environment. The volume includes a glossary without pronunciation guides. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
