Encyclopedic but not suitable as a textbook. - By: , 28 Jul 1999 
This book contains large amount of information & therefore it may be argued that it is an important referencein the field. Unfortunately, as a textbook for undergraduate teaching, it is terrible. There are several mistakesin the solved examples. Problems at the end of each chapter are not well prepared. Solving the problems at the end of a chapter do not necessarily contribute to a better understanding of the material contained in that chapter.
A large number of equations related to the activated sludge process are presented, but they are not well connected. How these equations can be systematically usedin design is neither well explained nor well exemplified. Overall, this book is not suitable for self-study without the guidance of an experienced instructor/engineer who also has practical experiencein wastewater plant design & operation.
Then again, there are very few good booksin this field (if any). The field of water & wastewater treatment certainly needs good authors/teachers!
A definite must for the ENVIRONMENTAL PE EXAM. - By: , 26 Apr 1999 
This book was of great necessity on the PE exam & I wouldn't have been able to do much without it. A definite must for your bookshelf.
