Best Environmental Engineering

The 23rd edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater(R) contains over 400 laboratory methods for the analysis of. Dissolved Solids. Laboratories worldwide rely on this comprehensive reference as the trusted source of accurate, proven methodology for analysis of water, water supplies, and wastewater. The methods in the 23rd edition (as in previous editions) are believed to be the best available, generally accepted procedures for analyzing water, wastewater, and related materials. Standard Methods is also offered as a subscription service, which includes all the new, revised, and USEPA-approved methods that are full-text searchable, a discussion group and news about the book, its methods and the oversight board.

Cultural anthropologist Gretchen Bakke unveils the many facets of America's energy infrastructure, its most dynamic moments and its most stable ones, and its essential role in personal and national life. The Grid tells--entertainingly, perceptively--the story of what has been called “the largest machine in the world”: its fascinating history, its problematic present, and its potential role in a brighter, cleaner future. She leads readers through a history of the grid and a maze of financial, legal, regulatory, and environmental considerations with sprightly good humor . "Hopefully, Bakke’s startling exposé revealing how electricity sloshes around the country across a precarious grid will be a wake-up call." Bakke deftly shows us how a system most of us are happy to ignore--the electrical grid--is both inseparable from everything we think of as civilization and on the verge of complete failure." This is a smart, deeply reported, poetic book about how electricity moves through our lives (and why it sometimes doesn’t). It's a journey through the nervous system of the modern world, one with profound implications for climate change, national security, and ensuring America’s well-lit future." - Jeff Goodell, contributing editor Rolling Stone, author of BIG COAL. - Rye Barcott, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Double Time Capital, a clean energy investment firm.

Richard T. Wright is Professor Emeritus of Biology at Gordon College in Massachusetts, where he taught environmental science for 28 years. For many years Wright received grant support from the National Science Foundation for his work in marine microbiology, and in 1981, he was a founding faculty member of Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies in Michigan, where he also served as Academic Chairman for 11 years. He is a member of many environmental organizations, including The Nature Conservancy, Habitat for Humanity, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Audubon Society, and a supporting member of the Trustees of Reservations. Boorse is a member of a number of ecological and environmental societies including The Ecological Society of America, the Society of Wetland Scientists, the Nature Conservancy, The Audubon Society, The New England Wildflower Society, and the Trustees of Reservations (the oldest land conservancy group in the United States).

With more than 150 photographs including Hubble All-Stars—the most famous of all the noteworthy images— The Hubble Cosmos shows how this telescope is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. ROBERT P. KIRSHNER, Clowes Professor of Science in the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University, accomplished groundbreaking work on supernovas and the expansion of the universe using the Hubble Space Telescope.

If you are preparing for the PE exam in civil engineering, the following suggestions may help. Newer editions mean that the codes, standards, and regulations on which the exam is based are not represented in the older edition,that the exam body of knowledge has changed, and/or the exam format and policies have changed. This means knowing the order of the chapters, the approximate locations of important figures and tables, what appendices are available, and so on.

Even more useful specs, including tap drill sizes for Unified threads, reaming allowances for drilling, mesh and grit sizes, rules for figuring tapers, and assembly with pins and studs. Recently added information on sheet metal and presses, keys and keyways, shaft alignment, taps and tapping, helical coil screw thread inserts, metric screw threads, miniature screws, fluid mechanics, solid geometry, statistics, calculating hole coordinates and thread dimensions, and distinguishing between bolts and screws. Many thoroughly reworked and renovated sections throughout. Hundreds of new and thousands of refined and redone illustrations and equations. The standard reference for mechanical engineers, designers, manufacturing engineers, draftsmen, toolmakers, and machinists, revised, expanded, and updated from the 23d edition of 1988.

"Discrete-time Signal Processing, " by the authors of the classic text "Digital Signal Processing" (Prentice Hall, 1975), is a completely up-to-date, thorough, and coherent treatment of the fundamentals of this field. The text assumes a background in advanced calculus, including an introduction to complex variables and a basic familiarity with signals and linear systems theory.
