The Wiley Encyclopedia of Environmental Pollution and Cleanup is a two-volume, 1800-page set that provides an introduction to environmental science, environmental technology, and environmental issues in a finely crafted collection of some 230 articles.
This work is based on the highly regarded eight-volume, 5400-page Encyclopedia of Environmental Analysis and remediation, edited by Dr. Robert A. Meyers and published by John Wiley in 1998. The condensed set aims to maintain the high quality of articles on environmental topics and retain the information of greatest interest, while bringing this information to the widest possible audience, including readers having limited scientific training. In his role as its Editor, Dr. Meyers served as the guiding force for the "Unabridged Encyclopedia." He continued to lend his expertise to the series by planning, selecting, and shaping material for this condensed work.
The critical operation of the condensation of the material and the fine-tuning of the selection process were admirably carried out by the Editor of this work, Diane Kender Dittrick, Laboratory Director, Department of Environmental Science, Barnard College. Her extensive experience includes university teaching, science writing, and various positions in the reference-book publishing industry.
This Concise encyclopedia focuses more on describing pollution and cleanup and less on specialized specific analytical techniques. By doing so, the work—even though it is condensed, compact, and economic—can emphasize areas of general interest such as pollution in the biosphere, air pollution and its control, the cleanup of hazardous waste, water reclamation, and environmental regulation. This condensed work contains lengthy survey articles on many important topics: coal; ecozones; environmental geochemistry; field-portable instrumentation; groundwater and soil remediation; groundwater transport; hydrocarbons in the atmosphere; nuclear reactors; ocean-atmosphere interactions; petroleum fuels analysis; risk assessment; sediments, management and remediation of contamination; soil and water quality in agriculture; soil as an ecosystem; and wastewater reclamation and reuse.
Features of this Encyclopedia include a large number of illustrations and tables, sizeable bibliographies for each article, with these bibliographic entries keyed to the text; extensive cross-referencing, both within the article text and as separate cross-reference entries to direct the reader to information on the indicated subject; and an extensive subject index to allow the reader to find appropriate information no matter what initial term is sought. A total of 14 color photographs have been added to the Encyclopedia to explain, emphasize, and illustrate key concepts more fully.
As Professor Frederick Seitz indicates in the Foreword, "One of the remarkable features of the last half of the twentieth century has been the gradual but steadfast rise of general interest in environmental science, technology, and practice.
The Wiley Encyclopedia of Environmental Pollution and Cleanup should earn a place on many bookshelves, particularly those in public, high school, and college libraries, where it can serve as a useful and handy reference on the environment."
