"...easy-to-read...a wide range of excellent material..." (Metrohm Information Issue, Vol 3 2003)

Product Description
Provides information on the application of analytical techniques, such as GC, LC, IR, and XRF for analysing and measuring water, solid and atmospheric samples and for monitoring environmental pollutants.

• Emphasizes Field Analysis, reflecting the growing application of this technique

• Information on sampling strategies - reflecting growth in this area
• Includes sections on solid and liquid extraction techniques
• Ideal as a self-study aid or as a taught course

From the Back Cover
Global awareness of the importance of monitoring and protecting our environment has grown considerably over the last ten years. Environmental concerns are now an integral part of today's legislation, product design and development, waste minimization and disposal. As well as background monitoring of the environment, scientists are involved in monitoring liquid and gaseous discharges and surveying contaminated land and landfill sites - very topical issues due to concern over waste dumping and potential problems with reuse of old industrial sites.

As well as covering long-established methods, this book includes the breadth of new developments which have taken place in the field of environmental analysis. New techniques have emerged which have now become acceptable as alternatives to more long-standing methods. There is also more use of automated techniques. Quality assurance and quality control aspects have become increasingly important for the environmental analyst with a growing emphasis on accurate quantification. The techniques discussed develop in complexity from simple volumetric measurements for water quality to the special problems of ultra-trace analysis. As well as covering all of the laboratory techniques used in extraction and analysis of samples, attention is also given to in situ monitoring and sampling strategies.

Key features include the following:

• Up-to-date information on now widely used analytical techniques such as ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and PM10 sampling.
• Written in the AnTS Series style, it is ideal for use as a self-study aid or as the basis of a taught course.
• Includes a comprehensive bibliography to guide the reader to more specialized texts and sources for the various standard methods.

Introduction to Environmental Analysis will be invaluable to students on environmental science and analytical chemistry courses, as well as laboratory technicians, biologists and analytical chemists involved in environmental monitoring.

Environmental Monitoring Handbook

Review

wealth of thoughtful approaches and solid science...greatest value...a large variety of approaches and methods all in one place. -- The Battery Man, October 2002

Review
Even professionals with many, many years in their fields find it useful to have on hand resource and reference materials which can provide support for current activities and stimulation for new ones...

Environmental Monitoring Handbook includes sections on water, soils & sediments, the atmosphere and data analysis. Edited by a group of professionals with chapters written by 42 different authors, the book provides a wealth of thoughtful approaches and solid science; an area which is only going to grow in importance in the coming years. The lead editor, Mr. Frank Burden, prefaces the book by stating that he hopes it "will stimulate a cross-fertilization of ideas across the environmental monitoring community." This cross fertilization might provide all of us a means to address many of the concerns expressed by regulators, the media and the general public, to the lasting benefit of the industry and society in general. The greatest value of the book may lie in its gathering a large variety of approaches and methods all in one place. (Battery Man )

Climate Change Environmental and History of The Near East

by Arie S. Issar (Author), Mattanyah Zohar (Author)

Review

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This second edition of Climate Change: Environment and History of the Near East deserves recognition by scientists working on a number of water problems in the area. The authors … are convinced that conservative negative attitudes are slowly changing, mostly due to the ever increasing quantity and quality of scientific research of the Earth’s past mainly by geologists, geochemists, botanists, climatologists, etc. … The book is intended for environmental hydrogeologists, climatologists, scientists, and geochemists." (Phillip E. LaMoreaux, Environmental Geology, Vol. 54 (4), 2008)

Product Description

This survey of the ancient levels of lakes, rivers and the sea, as well as changes in the compositions of stalagmites and sediments reveals an astonishing correlation of climate changes with the emergence and collapse of civilizations in the Middle East. Each warm period has been characterized by aridization, economic crisis and mass migration, whereas cold periods brought abundant rain, prosperity and settlement in the arid lands. The authors conclude that climate change has been the decisive factor in the history surrounding the origins of the "cradle of civilization".
