Environmental Systems Engineering and Economics emphasizes the
application of optimization, economics, and systems engineering to
problems in environmental resources management. This senior
level/graduate textbook introduces optimization theory and
algorithms that have been successful in resolving water quality and
groundwater management problems. Both linear programming and
nonlinear optimization are presented. Multiobjective optimization
and the linked simulation-optimization (LSO) methodology are also
introduced. The basic principles of economics and engineering
economics are also discussed to provide a framework for economic
decision making. This text contains numerous example problems. Case
studies are presented that address water resources management
issues in the north China plain, the control of saltwater intrusion
in Jakarta, Indonesia, and groundwater resources management in the
Yun Lin basin, Taiwan.

The Works of William Harvey Translated by Robert Willis.
Introduction by Arthur C. Guyton William Harvey's revolutionary
book on the circulatory system, published in Latin in 1628,
demonstrated for the first time how the heart pumps blood through
the body. His findings overturned the world's basic understanding
of the way the body functions and changed fundamental knowledge of
physiology as much as any scientific work in history. The Works of
William Harvey will provide scientists, students, physicians, and
interested lay persons access to the original works of a pioneer
who shaped contemporary science. This edition is a reissue of the
1965 facsimile of the 1867 collection and translation of Harvey's
works. Included are his groundbreaking 1628 book on the circulatory
system, a book on animal reproduction, and various shorter
scientific writings and letters, along with a new introduction.
