Summary
Environmental engineering has a leading role in the elimination of ecological threats, and can deal with a wide range of technical and technological problems due to its interdisciplinary character. It uses the knowledge of the basic sciences – biology, chemistry, biochemistry and physics – to neutralize pollution in all the elements of the environment, i.e. the hydrosphere, atmosphere and lithosphere. Mainly, environmental engineering deals with the design and maintenance of systems of water supply, sewage disposal, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning in buildings. In brief, it deals with securing technically, the conditions which create a safe environment for mankind to live in.
The three main goals of Environmental Engineering III is to assess the state of scientific research in various areas of environmental engineering; to evaluate organizational, technical and technological progress in contributing to ecological security; and to determine the place of environmental engineering in sustainable development, taking into account current political and economic conditions. The contributions are divided into 8 sections:
General problems
Air pollution control
Indoor air pollution control
Neutralization of sewage sludge and wastewater
Neutralization of solid wastes and sludges
Remediation of polluted sites
Water quality and supply
Energy saving and recovery
Environmental Engineering III contains 88 selected and peer reviewed papers from 327 contributions presented during the 3rd Congress of Environmental Engineering, and is a valuable sources of information for academics and engineers in environmental engineering.

The story of this book: We wrote a book because we didn\'t like the available texts. We talked to about 10 textbook authors before we started writing. They all advised against it: more work than you would think, slight if negative academic rewards, and little chance of financial gain. Now we know. But it hasn\'t been all bad. We started in 1992 and have re-organized the book 3 or 4 times since. We have enjoyed 8 international trips to work together in Ithaca, the Baltic Sea, and Bangalore. We were just writing a dynamics text, but then we added statics because many of the student dynamics difficulties had their roots there.The book was contracted by Saunders Publishing but then sold, with the Saunders College Division, to Oxford University Press where our friendly editor is Danielle Christianson. Various pre-release versions of this book have been used at Cornell about 10 times and also at a few other schools. We have had about 20 external reviews. Some people have read the book nearly straight through and found it educational, despite the defects which have annoyed some others. If we are lucky we will continue to improve the book as more people find it useful.

Product Description
Over the past decade there has been a gradual shift away from simply relying on engineering solutions to individual landslide problems, to the use of a variety of strategies to manage the problems over a broad area. Such alternative strategies include the use of building codes, land use planning controls, preventing water leakage, early warning systems and insurance schemes. This book addresses these developments and provides a multidisciplinary perspective on landslide management. It places emphasis on the need to understand the scientific basis of landslide activity together with the legislative and administrative framework and the cultural background.
1 Background to landslide risk assessment
2 Landslide hazard
3 Qualitative and semi̷quantitative risk assessment
4 Estimating the probability of landsliding
5 Estimating the consequences
6 Quantifying risk
7 From risk estimation to landslide management strategy
