Basic Environmental and Engineering Geology by F. G. Bell This book examines the influence of geohazards, the significance of soil and water resources, and the impact of mining and waste disposal, as well as looking at the various aspects of construction that are involved in the development of the infrastructure.

Finite Element Techniques in Groundwater Flow Studies by I. Kazda The reader will find an explanation of the fundamentals of the finite element method directed mainly toward isoparametric elements having an exceptional adaptability and numerical reliability. The finite element method application to groundwater flow concerns mainly two-dimensional problems, which occur most frequently in practice.

Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering by Braja M. Das; Nagaratnam Sivakugan This valuable, cohesive book focuses on the fundamental concepts of both soil mechanics and foundation engineering without the distraction of excessive details or cumbersome alternatives. A wealth of worked-out examples and useful supporting figures help you master key concepts and gain essential problem-solving skills.

Introduction to Cities by Xiangming Chen; Anthony M. Orum; Krista E. Paulsen The revised and updated second edition of Introduction to Cities explores why cities are such a vital part of the human experience and how they shape our everyday lives. It examines the study of cities through two central concepts: that cities are places, where people live, form communities, and establish their own identities, and that they are spaces, such as the inner city and the suburb, that offer a way to configure and shape the material world and natural environment.

Introduction to Environmental Engineering by Alandra Kahl This book is intended as a reference for the graduate level scholar on selected topics and environmental engineering. Topics encompassed in environmental engineering include treatment of water and wastewater, mitigation of environmental hazards, and sustainable practice.

Landscape Architecture: An Introduction by Robert Holden; Jamie Liversedge Aimed at prospective and new students, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the nature and practise of landscape architecture, the professional skills required and the latest developments.

Principles of Environmental Thermodynamics and Kinetics by Kalliat T. Valsaraj; Elizabeth M. Melvin Environmental engineering, is by its very nature, interdisciplinary and it is a challenge to develop courses that will provide students with a thorough broad-based curriculum that includes every aspect of the environmental engineering profession. Environmental engineers perform a variety of functions, most critical of which are process design for waste treatment or pollution prevention, fate and transport modeling, green engineering, and risk assessment.
