Reviews
From the reviews:
“The author explores the environmental systems and links them with the ecology of microorganisms. … Each of the well-written topics presented contains current and practical information. The book is based on a course taught by the author; therefore, it is useful for both undergraduates and beginning graduate students in microbiology, public health, aquatic science, and civil/environmental engineering. The work is also valuable for practitioners lacking microbiology or biology backgrounds … . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (M. E. Lenczewski, Choice, Vol. 49 (7), March, 2012)Authors and Affiliations
