An Experimentall discoverie of Spanish practises, or, The Counsell of a well-wishing souldier, for the good of his prince and state [[electronic resource] ] : wherein is manifested from known experience, both the cruelty, and policy of the Spaniard, to effect his own ends : chiefly swelling with multiplicity of glorious titles, as one of the greatest monarchs of the earth, that being admired of all, his greatnesse might amaze all, and so by degrees seeking covertly to tyrannize over all, when as indeed and truth, the greatest part of his pretended greatnesse is but a windy crack of an ambitious minde

• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents applications of chemistry specific to topics, issues, and problems relevant to environmental engineering. It is the companion volume of Chemistry for Environmental Engineering. Considerable effort has been made to clarify and explain the subjects of air and water quality, including a section on colloids. Other topics include hazardous materials, radiation hazards and sources, toxicology and chemical hygiene, and a final chapter devoted to environmental issues of contemporary interest and importance.
