Essential for layman and specialist alike.</i> <p><i>…Porteous’ book will contribute to better understanding and protection of the world’s environment…</i> <p><i>This dictionary is highly recommended as a valuable reference for both students and professionals working in environmental science and technology.</i> <p><i>…a formidable rival of many much more expensive and heavier volumes. Porteous succeeds to precisely describe the chosen terms without compromise to readability. Cross-references nicely bring together additional or related information. The reader is often captured by the well-written text and is kept reading far beyond the sought-after term. </i><BR> Environmental Geology <p><i>Dictionary of Environmental Science and Technology, Fourth Edition</i> will be an indispensable reference for all students and professionals concerned with world’s environment.
