PThis text offers a practical introduction to a wide range of environmental topics, focusing primarily on water and wastewater, solid and hazardous waste, and air and noise pollution control. It emphasizes fundamental concepts and basic applications so that students with little or no experience in biology, chemistry, geology, and hydraulics can comprehend this book./PH3IKey features:/I/H3ULLIclear, easy-to-read style/LILIpresentation of mathematical topics at a relatively basic level/LILIhundreds of example problems, diagrams, and photographs/LILInumerous chapter review questions and practice problems/LILIutilizes both SO metric and U.S. customary units/LILInew appendix containing a basic math review/LI/ULPIBasic Environmental Technology/Ioffers a pragmatic introduction to the topics of municipal water supply, waste management, and pollution control. The book is designed primarily for use by students in civil/construction technology programs and related disciplines in community colleges and technical institutes. It can also be useful in baccalaureate engineering and technology programs when a practical but elementary course of study is desired, or for independent study by individuals who wish to explore the rudiments of environmental quality control and public health protection. Experienced technicians, engineers, scientists, and others in different disciplines who may become involved in environmental work for the first time will also find this book of value as an initial reference./PPThe qualities that continue to distinguish this book in its fourth edition are its clear, easy-to-read style and its logical and systematic treatment of the subject. Since the field of environmental technology is multidisciplinary and very broad in scope, review or primer sections are included so that readers with little or no experience in biology, chemistry, geology, and hydraulics can comprehend and use the book.

ON MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICIANS Formerly titled Memorabilia Mathematica or the Philomathss Quotation-Book By Robert Edouard Moritz. Originally published in 1914. PREFACE: EVERY one knows that the fine phrase God geometrizes is attributed to Plato, but few know where this famous passage is found, or the exact words in which it was first expressed. Those who, like the author, have spent hours and even days in the search of the exact statements, or the exact references, of similar famous passages, will not question the timeliness and usefulness of a book whose distinct purpose it is to bring together into a single volume exact quotations, with their exact references, bearing on one of the most time-honored, and even today the most active and most fruitful of all the sciences, the queen mother of all the sciences, that is, mathematics. It is hoped that the present volume will prove indispensable to every teacher of mathematics, to every writer on mathe matics, and that the student of mathematics and the related sciences will find its perusal not only a source of pleasure but of encouragement and inspiration as well. The layman will find it a repository of useful information covering a field of knowledge which, owing to the unfamiliar and hence repellant character of the language employed by mathematicians, is peculiarly in accessible to the general reader. No technical processes or technical facility is required to understand and appreciate the wealth of ideas here set forth in the words of the worlds great thinkers. No labor has been spared to make the present volume worthy of a place among collections of a like kind in other fields. Ten years have been devoted to its preparation, years, which if they could have been more profitably, could scarcely have been more pleasurably employed. As a result there have been brought together over one thousand more or less familiar passages pertaining to mathematics, by poets, philosophers, historians, statesmen, scientists, and @HúáG®{ ¾Û€
