Environmental Biotechnology: Theory and Applications,
2nd Edition is designed to draw together the
microscopic, functional level and the macroscopic, practical
applications of biotechnology and to explain how the two relate
within an environmental context. It presents the practical
biological approaches currently employed to address environmental
problems and provides the reader with a working knowledge of the
science that underpins them. Biotechnology has now become a
realistic alternative to many established approaches for
manufacturing, land remediation, pollution control and waste
management and is therefore an essential aspect of environmental
studies. Fully updated to reflect new developments in the field and
with numerous new case studies throughout this edition will be
essential reading for undergraduates and masters students taking
modules in Biotechnology or Pollution Control as part of
Environmental Science, Environmental Management or Environmental
Biology programmes.
Quote from the first edition:
‘There is no doubt that this book will be one of inspiration for
all professionals in the field. It is a very good framework for
understanding the complex nature of processes and technology and as
such it will be useful for researchers, practitioners and other
parties who need a working knowledge of this fascinating
subject.’

Federation of Biotechnology, Environmental Biotechnology section

Over de auteur
Judith (Judy) C. FurlongDr Gareth Evans, Environmental Biotechnology, University of Durham
Dr Gareth Evans spent nearly twenty years, developing and implementing commercial R&D, waste/water recycling and pollution control programmes, gaining experience in land and wetland management, project management and pilot plant design/commissioning. He was also responsible for feasibility studies for European 5th framework programme and involved as a consultant on a projects in the UK, Europe, Turkey and Tasmania.
A member of the European Federation of Biotechnology, he was then approached to lead the Environmental Biotechnology teaching at the University of Durham. He now writes extensively on environmental, scientific and technical subjects in a variety of international magazines and online media.
