The new edition of a classic reference incorporating the latest
findings and discoveries

The Third Edition of this classic reference provides readers with
concise, up-to-the-moment coverage of the role of microorganisms in
water and wastewater treatment. By providing a solid foundation in
microbiology, microbial growth, metabolism, and nutrient cycling,
the text gives readers the tools they need to make critical
decisions that affect public health, as well as the practical
aspects of treatment, disinfection, water distribution,
bioremediation, and water and wastewater reuse.

The publication begins a discussion of microbiology principles,
followed by a discussion of public health issues and concerns.
Next, the core of the text is dedicated to a thorough examination
of wastewater and drinking water treatment, biosolids,
pollution-control biotechnology, and drinking water distribution.
The remainder of the text discusses toxicity testing in wastewater
treatment plants, and the public health aspects of wastewater
disposal and reuse.

The many advances in wastewater and drinking water microbiology
have all been thoroughly integrated into the publication,
including:

* A new chapter on bioterrorism and drinking water safety

* The latest developments in biofilm microbial ecology and biofilm
impact on drinking water quality

* New, state-of-the-art detection techniques

* Expanded and revised treatment of toxicity testing, including new
testing methods and studies on endocrine disrupters in
wastewater

* Alternatives to conventional wastewater treatment

New problem sets, which test readers' knowledge, as well as a list
of Internet resources have been added to each chapter. In addition,
the publication's extensive references have been thoroughly revised
for readers who would like to learn more about the latest findings
and discoveries on specialized topics. Finally, the color plate
section has been expanded and contains many new illustrations and
tables.

An authoritative guide for all researchers, administrators, and
engineers in the field of microbiology, Wastewater Microbiology,
Third Edition is also a valuable reference for civil and
environmental engineers, public health officials, and students
involved in environmental engineering and science.

GABRIEL BITTON, Ph.D., is Professor, Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences, University of Florida. He is a recipient of a Harvard University Research Fellowship, as well as an honorary doctorate from Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine, Nancy, France. Dr. Bitton is the editor of the Encyclopedia of Environmental Microbiology (Wiley). His primary research interests include wastewater microbiology, ecotoxicology, environmental virology, surface microbiology, and bioremediation.
