From the reviews:"This tome comprises 23 chapters of unequal length written by an ensemble of 20 authors … . This book will be extremely useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students – and I should also add to their teachers, preceptors and mentors –of civil and environmental engineering, to designers of wastewater treatment, biosolids and sludge treatment systems, and to scientists and researchers dealing with biosolids management operations." (J. G. LLaurado, Management of Environmental Quality, Vol. 19 (3), 2008)
