Review
…the clear structure makes searching child’s play…. I did three random searches and in no time located what I was looking for… I can think of no subject that the author has failed to address…Everywhere, the texts are compact, and you get the feeling that you are dealing with the real core of the subject.
Harry Boukes, Consultant Hydrologist, translated from Stromingen 13 (2007) number 2
I liked the approach taken in this book…to integrate soil and water contamination and not treat them as independant processes. It makes sense from a true environmental perspective that chemistry and soil science and hydrology are considered together…I can recommend this book to advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in the earth and environmental sciences…a useful refreshener to professionals.
Prof. John G. Farmer, Executive Editor, Science of the Total Environment 373 (2007) 603
