Principles of Stormwater Management (PDF) presents all aspects of stormwater management: the hydrologic cycle standards applicable to discharges, regulatory issues, sources of contaminants, atmospheric deposition, best management practices, and health/environmental impacts. It includes technical details of the modern treatment of stormwater, run-on, the emerging issues of atmospheric deposition, and snowmelt,

In Malignant Growth: Creating the Modern Cancer Research Establishment, 1875–1915, (PDF) Alan I Marcus examines a comparatively understudied period in the history of cancer by giving a careful investigation of the first public crusade to find the cause of cancer. The search for cancer’s cause during the stimulating era of

Cancer, which has become the second-most dominant health issue globally, is fundamentally a malfunction of cell signalling. Understanding how the complex signalling networks of cells and tissues allow cancer to thrive – and how they can be turned into strong weapons against it – is the key to handling cancer

Fundamentals of Gas Lift Engineering: Well Design and Troubleshooting discusses the important topic of oil and gas reservoirs as they continue to naturally decline, deplete, and mature, and how more oil and gas companies are trying to divert their investments in artificial lift methods to help prolong their assets. While

Studying engineering, whether it is electrical, mechanical, or civil, depends heavily on an understanding of mathematics. Bird’s Comprehensive Engineering Mathematics, 2nd Edition, (PDF) clearly shows the relevance of mathematical principles and shows how to implement them in real-life engineering problems. It purposely starts at an elementary level so that students
