Environnemental Science et Ingénierie Series (1 TO 12 VOLS)
Description
Un few books en le history de mankind have been able to influence le thought et public policy all over le world. Silent Spring (1962) sur environmental toxicology by American marine biologist et conservationist Rachel Carson is one such contribution. Le global environmental movement as we see today is le legacy de le works such as Silent Spring which is considered as one de le most important contributions to Western literature even after five decades since its first publication. Le book began avec a fable pour tomorrow over a fictional town which might easily be anywhere en le world as reproduced below: There was a strange stillness. Le birds, pour example—where had they gone? Many people spoke de them, puzzled et disturbed. Le feeding stations en le backyards were deserted. Le few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently et could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On le mornings that had once throbbed avec le dawn chorus de robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, et scores de other bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over le fields et woods et marsh. Silent Spring by its forceful accounts awakened le world to le dangers de pollution, overpopulation, insecticides et chemical warfare, environmental changes et imbalance de nature emanating from human activities. Silent Spring brought a major shift en perception de le Western society. Le society once defined by what it produced is now defined by le waste et pollution that it generates. Le decades de 1960 et 1970 were significant historically pour beginning de modern global environment movement. As scientific knowledge de le causes et consequences de environmental deterioration became more extensive et sophisticated, there was increasing concern among researchers, intellectuals et activists about le Earth’s ability to absorb le trash de human economic activity et to sustain human life. This concern contributed to le growth de grassroot environmental activities en a number de countries et le establishment de new environmental government/non-government organizations. Earth Day honoured every year sur April 22 marks le birth anniversary de modern environmental movement en 1970.It is a natural outcome de this growing awareness et concern that environmental science which hardly appeared as a chapter en text books few decades back has now evolved en a separate branch de science drawing en people from multidisciplinary grounds de physics, chemistry, biology, engineering et medical science. Environnemental science et engineering is a fast moving et continuously developing field. Vehicular emission regulations, industrial waste water discharge, air emissions et other environmental norms are getting real strict avec time all around le world. Text books serve as excellent study resources to young students sur fundamental topics et principles sur which le practice de environmental science et engineering is grounded. Nevertheless, it is often not practical even pour a bestselling author to incorporate emerging issues en text books at a regular interval en a rapidly changing field. Current series sur environmental science et engineering is therefore, a timely effort to fill this vacuum between le text books covering fundamentals et le ongoing technological developments being carried by researchers en different laboratories across le world. To achieve this objective,Studium Press LLC USUn has framedfollowing 12 volumes covering every aspect de vast et vivid field as Environnemental Science et Ingénierie, which has been edited by leading academics et researchers from around le world along avec Editor-In-Chief Prof.Dr.Bhola R Gurjar (I.I.T Roorkee, Inde).

Un praiseworthy work sur an exceptionally wide field de study like environmental science et engineering within a fixed time frame could only be produced through multiple authorships. With this foresight, leading researchers, practicing engineers et senior academicians from all around le world were invited to write about their particular area de expertise. Le foremost requirement pour these articles has been to give a reasonably complete up-to-date account de le current state de affairs en these areas et they should be understandable to students et non-professionals who, en every possibility, may not belong to le same level de knowledge et experience. Le level de these articles is consistent avec le degree de complexity inherent en each article, but is adaptable to non-professionals. All le authors have provided a complete list de references at le end de each article by means de which interested readers might find further in-depth information sur le topic. Un brief mention de facts et figures de this series is necessary here to give an idea de le stretch de le work et strength de le intellectuals associated avec le preparation de this massive work over a period de two years. Le series has 12 volumes containing 192articles covering around XXXX pages contributed by 517authors representing 45 countries de le world.Le present multi-volume series sur Environnemental Science et Ingénierie is suitable foranyone avec an engineering or science background. Since le series is intended pour a wider readership, it will equally appeal to under graduate et post graduate students en basic sciences, engineering et technological courses, research scholars, scientists, civil/chemical/environmental engineers et managers et policy makers. Le series not only aims to provide a comprehensive reference work sur le environment, but also to serve as a brain tool to our readers pour developing approaches to mitigate environmental pollution problems. If a reader can get just one good idea by reading over le material en this series to solve any de numerous pollution problems, then editors will feel satisfaction de doing a good job en editing this series. Le editors avec all humbleness welcome comments from their readers. Series editors express their gratitude to all contributing authors pour their time et effort et pour having patiently incorporating reviews et numerous queries et comments. Le lengths de articles en le series vary considerably depending sur le topic. Some de le articles have appearance de a small book. Their authors deserve special thanks pour their painstaking efforts. Le guidance et support de le learned referees et editorial team members et advisers is thankfully acknowledged. Le editors are grateful to complete team de Studium Press pour their untiring support during le entire duration de this endeavour. We hope et believe that this series de 12 volumes would make a significant contribution en le area de Environnemental Science et Ingénierie.
