Carefully crafted to provide a comprehensive overview of the
chemistry of water in the environment, Water Chemistry: Green
Science and Technology of Nature's Most Renewable Resource examines
water issues within the broad framework of sustainability, an issue
of increasing importance as the demands of Earth's human population
threaten to overwhelm the planet's carrying capacity. Renowned
environmental author Stanley Manahan provides more than just basic
coverage of the chemistry of water. He relates the science and
technology of this amazing substance to areas essential to
sustainability science, including environmental and green
chemistry, industrial ecology, and green (sustainable) science and
technology. The inclusion of a separate chapter that
comprehensively covers energy, including renewable and emerging
sources, sets this book a part. Manahan explains how the
hydrosphere relates to the geosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and
anthrosphere. His approach views Planet Earth as consisting of
these five mutually interacting spheres. He covers biogeochemical
cycles and the essential role of water in these basic cycles of
materials. He also defines environmental chemistry and green
chemistry, emphasizing water's role in the practice of each.
Manahan highlights the role of the anthrosphere, that part of the
environment constructed and operated by humans. He underscores its
overwhelming influence on the environment and its pervasive effects
on the hydrosphere. He also covers the essential role that water
plays in the sustainable operation of the anthrosphere and how it
can be maintained in a manner that will enable it to operate in
harmony with the environment for generations to come. Written at an
intermediate level, this is an appropriate text for the study of
current affairs in environmental chemistry. It provides a review
and grounding in basic and organic chemistry for those students who
need it and also fills a niche for an aquatic chemistry book that
relates the hydrosphere to the four other environmental spheres.
