[.ca] Handbook of Solid Waste Management and Waste ... (ISBN 0750675071)

Good Review, very easy to read!:
Dr. Cheremisinoff makes a good approach of waste management for everybody who is inside the bussiness at public or private level. The review for incineration technology is very complete and easy to read at the same time because he uses a friendly colloquial mode. The same applies for wastewater sludges issue (biosolids)and for volume reduction chapters. So you would mistake if you want to find here a book full of formulas or equations (for that, please look after Shun Dar Lin books). This is more like a transcription of workshops for people looking after a general scope for waste handling and management in a very precise manner. You have to know some things about waste management to find this book really interesting. But you do not have to be an specialist at all!. It helps you at the level of policies and strategies for waste management treatment and final disposal. Ah! I almost forgot it: The chapter N°2 about the main US acts and legislation on waste (e.g. CERCLA, RCRA, etc) is a wonderful abstract to all of us non US citizens non aware of US norms. It helped me to start knowing the subject!. So, you will need this book if you are starting an specialization or a new position on waste management. And if you are deep inside on the bussiness this is a good refresh! So...Why did I put 4 stars instead 5? Well, everything can be improved... and I'm waiting eagerly for a new edition!
