Review: An essential reference book — arrived in excellent condition - purchased this book new and it arrived in excellent condition. It looks brand new and I’ve been reading it daily since I received it. I already knew the content, but I took advantage of a price drop to finally get the physical copy—and I’m very happy I did. Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Resource Recovery is a comprehensive and indispensable technical reference for anyone involved in wastewater treatment. The content is detailed and well-organized, making it valuable for both students and professionals. However, due to its length and weight, it can be a bit difficult to read or reference casually. I would really appreciate having access to a PDF version for easier consultation. Still, I strongly prefer physical books, since reading on screens tires me out quickly. I chose not to get the Kindle version because the screen size is too small to comfortably view the many diagrams, tables, and images the book contains. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase. It’s a must-have in any environmental or civil engineering library.
Review: This is the best and most comprehensive wastewater treatment text in the field - This is the best and most comprehensive wastewater treatment text in the field. Prof. Tchobanoglous has done an excellent job of improving this text edition by edition. The subjects are technically accurate and up to date; the descriptions are good; the tables, figures, and example problems are well selected and relate well and easily to the text. The formatting is very well done which results in a text that is easy to relate to and one in which material is easy to find. With his dedication and perseverance in continuing to update this text over the years, Professor Tchobanoglous has become the best textbook author in our field. I would hesitate to use this text for undergraduate courses. (It costs too much and covers only wastewater treatment. Most undergraduate courses in the field cover water treatment and wastewater treatment in one course. This text it too comprehensive for undergraduate courses, and especially when coupled with a water treatment text, the cost is too high to require of undergraduates.) However, it would be my first choice for graduate courses. And as a practitioner it would be (and is) the wastewater text that I absolutely would not be without as a desk side reference. My only complaint about the book is its increase in size with each edition. Considering its hefty weight, desertcart should consider listing it as a body building product in addition to an engineering text. :)
