The book covers the important aspects of water, air and noise pollution. Using a multidisciplinary approach, it highlights the impact of environmental pollution in the world. It also suggests methods for controlling and scientific monitoring of pollution-causing agents. Also included are chapters on efficient guidelines and standards, radioactive waste, solid waste disposal and sewage treatment, oil pollution and role of insecticides. Pollution in tanneries, fertilizer industry, and pulp and paper industries is also covered. The last few chapters are devoted to environmental management, benefit-cost analysis and mathematical modelling for environmental pollution control.

Elements of Enviromental Engineering-Dr K.N. Duggal
KSh 2,586.00The key features include: the important principles and practices of Sanitary Engineering, as they are understood and generally applicable in our country today, have been fully delineated so that it may be easy for the students preparing for various examinations; the treatment of the subject has been kept exhaustive, sufficiently simple without sacrificing the fundamentals involved; and, effort has been made to keep the information as much up-to-date and compact as possible, and with that view, some references have been made to the relevant Indian Standard Specifications, so that to the engineers in the profession, it may also prove to be of use. The book is broadly split up into four parts. Part I deals exclusively with the subject of “Water Supply”, Part II describes “Sewerage and Sewage Treatment”, Part III “Water Supply and Drainage of Buildings” and Part IV “Environmental Sanitation”, which includes only some of the more important topics of the day viz., Refuse Sanitation, Ventilation and Air-conditioning, Air Pollution, and Malaria, incidental to Engineering. A number of selective questions of the various Indian Universities and other examinations have been given towards the end of each chapter to serve as an exercise to the problems duly solved in the chapter. The last 2-3 decades have seen tremendous research and development in the fields of water treatment and sewage/wastewater treatment. New concepts like unit operations in water treatment and unit operation and processes, in particular biological processes, in sewage/wastewater treatment have been introduced. Besides topics like defluoridation, demineralization and wastewater reclamation have evoked considerable interest and attention. To reflect these changes, this book has been revised to make it updated, with the latest information on these topics. The readers will find the book more appropriate and useful to their needs.

Tropical Roots and Tuber Crops: Cassava, Sweet Potato, Yams and Aroids (Crop Production Science in Horticulture)
KSh 8,260.00Root and tuber crops are important to agriculture, food security and income for 2.2 billion people in developing countries. These species produce large quantities of dietary energy and have stable yields under difficult environmental conditions. This second edition of Tropical Root and Tuber Crops is an authoritative treatment of four important root and tuber crops: cassava, sweet potato, yams, and aroids.
The same format is followed for each crop: Origin and History, Taxonomy and Botany, Breeding and Genetics, Developmental Physiology, Agronomy, Pests and Diseases, Post-Harvest Quality and Marketing. This new edition reviews the scientific literature produced during the last decade and presents major technical advancements. Modern molecular tools have been used to clarify the phylogeny, taxonomy and origin of these species. Similar advances have been made in physiology, agronomy, pathology and product chemistry. It is essential reading for students, researchers and horticulturists.

Agricultural Law and Economics in Sub-Saharan Africa: Cases and Comments
KSh 17,400.00Agricultural Law in Sub-Saharan Africa: Cases and Comments introduces the subject of agricultural law and economics to researchers, practitioners, and students in common law countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and presents information from the legal system in Botswana, Gambia, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The law and economics approach entails the use of quantitative methods in research. This is consistent with the expectations in an applied economics field such as agricultural economics.
Covering the general traditional law topics in contracts, torts, and property, the book goes further to introduce cutting-edge and region-relevant topics, including contracts with illiterate parties, contract farming, climate change, and transboundary water issues. The book is supported by an extensive list of reference materials, as well as study and enrichment exercises, to deepen readers’ understanding of the principles discussed in the book. It is a learning tool, first and foremost, and can be used as a stand-alone resource to teach the subject matter of agricultural law and economics to professionals new to the subject area as well as to students in law school, agricultural economics, economics, and inter-disciplinary classes.
- Offers research findings on such topics as food safety, climate change, transboundary natural resources, international sale of goods, patents, and trademarks to highlight the future sources of pressure on the agriculture industry
- Uses case-studies to provide real-world insights into the challenges and considerations of appropriate agricultural law development
- Challenges readers to carry out their own research in their areas of study, and to gain some understanding of the relationship between law, economics, and statistics
- Includes extensive resources, such as chapter summaries, study questions, and challenge questions at the end of each chapter to assist instructors and students in gaining full benefits from using the book
- Provides separate instructor and student study guides, a test bank, and test bank answers, in hardcopy and electronic formats

Mechanics of Engineering Materials (2nd Edition)
Mechanics of Engineering Materials is well-established as the definitive textbook on the mechanics and strength of materials for students of engineering principles throughout their degree course. Assuming little or no prior knowledge, the theory of the subject is developed from first principles and all topics of stress and strain analysis are covered right up to final year level. Mechanical properties such as tensile behaviour, fatigue, creep, fracture and impact are discussed and more advanced material is also included, particularly on finite element analysis, fracture mechanics and composite materials.
This second edition has been brought fully up-to-date in line with today’s courses. Incorporating new, two-colour illustrations throughout, the book reinforces student comprehension of the theory through numerous new worked examples and end-of-chapter problems involving real engineering situations. An important new feature of this edition is the use and illustration of computer spreadsheets throughout as a powerful problem-solving tool.
Mechanics of Engineering Materials is an indispensible course text for undergraduate students of mechanical engineering, engineering science and civil engineering. It will also be a valuable reference for those studying BTEC and GNVQ courses.
