商品描述
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 other four environmental spheres.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
精心編寫的《水化學:自然最可再生資源的綠色科學與技術》提供了水在環境中的化學綜述,探討了在可持續性這一廣泛框架下的水資源問題。隨著地球人類人口的需求威脅到星球的承載能力,這一議題的重要性日益增加。著名的環境作家Stanley Manahan不僅僅提供水化學的基本知識,他將這種驚人物質的科學與技術與可持續性科學的基本領域聯繫起來,包括環境與綠色化學、工業生態學以及綠色(可持續)科學與技術。本書特別包含了一章全面涵蓋能源,包括可再生和新興能源,這使得本書獨樹一幟。
Manahan解釋了水圈如何與地圈、大氣圈、生物圈和人類圈相互關聯。他的觀點將地球視為由這五個相互作用的圈層組成。他涵蓋了生物地球化學循環以及水在這些基本物質循環中的重要角色。他還定義了環境化學和綠色化學,強調水在每一種實踐中的作用。Manahan突顯了人類圈的角色,即由人類建造和運作的環境部分。他強調了人類圈對環境的巨大影響及其對水圈的普遍影響。他還探討了水在可持續運作人類圈中的重要角色,以及如何以一種能夠使其與環境和諧運作的方式來維持水資源,以便未來幾代人能夠受益。
本書以中級水平撰寫,適合學習環境化學的時事。它為需要的學生提供了基本和有機化學的回顧和基礎,並填補了水圈與其他四個環境圈層之間的水化學書籍的空白。
