Technical Books of Interest to 
Scientists and Engineers

These are some of the books that we have found to be essential for various areas in which we are deeply involved.  

Here we are listing reference, chemistry, microbiology, enzyme technology and environmental and engineering books that should be (we hope) of great interest to science and engineering students and professionals.  We will place reviews of the various books as they are obtained or developed.  This page will forever be under construction. 

SEE BOTTOM OF PAGE FOR FREE SHIPPING INFORMATION!
(HOW CAN YOU BEAT THAT?)

We intend to start with science and engineering books related to the chemistry basics, the environment and to biochemical engineering. We will be adding microbiology shortly.  
We would then like to expand the listings to include popular chemical and biochemical texts. Finally I would like to add an "outside reading recommended by the editor of 'Biological Treatment of Hazardous Wastes' " section relating to more popular books, perhaps extending to novels and the like. Come back often to view updates and improvements.  Please E-Mail me at  defilip1@flash.net with any suggestions and books you might have interest in seeing included.

  This volume focuses on innovative bioremediation techniques and applications for the cleanup of contaminated media and sites, including quantitative and design methods that elucidate the relationships among various operational parameters, and waste chemistry that defines the cost effectiveness of bioremediation projects.
  Investigates the levels and sources of heavy metals in soil–plant systems and evaluates the potential uses of various plant species for soil remediation!
  Featuring contributions from over 155 scientists and researchers, and containing more than 1600 references and 500 drawings, photographs, tables, and equations, 
  

  • uses soil microcosms to measure the potential of aerobic microorganisms to degrade petroleum hydrocarbon vapors in the unsaturated zone

  • determines whether the concentrations of TPH and selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) can be reduced in sludge by composting prior to disposal

  • emphasizes the use of high-cell population cultivations and cometabolic conditions to stimulate high molecular weight PAH biodegradation

  • compares the effectiveness of Inipol and F1 in petroleum hydrocarbon breakdown

  • isolates and assesses alkanotrophic microorganisms by intensifying their oil-destroying activity with Bamil

  • outlines results from vadose zone and shallow aquifer monitoring activities

  • describes on the biological treatment of a silty loam contaminated with BEHP and lubricating oil

  • discusses the feasibility of bioremediating concrete

  • and more!

  Offering scientifically valid methods of rehabilitating suffering ecosystems, Bioremediation of Contaminated Soils is vital for environmental, pollution control, civil, and chemical engineers; environmental and soil scientists; hazardous and industrial waste specialists; environmental and patent attorneys; remediation technicians; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
