Summary: Some mistakes make the book hard to believe
Review: It may be that the book is a good work, but some mistakes make it hard to believe. As a simple but illustrative example, on page 315 the author says that some synonyms of carbon tetrachloride (formula CCl4) are "carbon disulphide, carbon disulfide" and some others that are not, in any way, related to carbon tetrachloride but to other chemical (formula CS2). If this so obvious mistake is found, how many others, not so obvious might be in the book?

Summary: Environmental Forensics: A Glossary of Terms
Review: This glossary is the companion to Environmental Forensics: Principles and Applications. When used in conjunction with this book, it provides the practioner with the needed tools to understand and forensically review environmental reports and expert witness testimony. The glossary is easy to read and includes a section on acroymns used in the environmental sciences. This glossary is a bargain and can save the user a tremendous amount of time trying to discern text or testimony associated with environmental reports and environmental expert witness testimony.
