Book Description
The second edition of the Environmental Engineering Reference Manual is the most current, comprehensive review for the all-objective environmental PE exam. Developed in response to the current test specifications and input from many recent examinees, this manual provides the topical review, the solved example problems, the tables of data, and other resources you need to pass this exam. The Exam Information You Need
Michael Lindeburg's introduction describes the current PE exam format and the topics covered on the exam. He offers many suggestions to help you prepare for it--from planning your study schedule to knowing what items to take with you to the exam.
The Review You Need
ENVRM2 prepares you for every topic you are likely to see on the current exam. Several chapters have been updated with new information and rewritten for added clarity. There are two new appendices. Hundreds of solved example problems reinforce the concepts in the text. A full glossary, with new entries, defines terms that may be unfamiliar. Whatever you need to review, chances are excellent you'll find it here.
The Data You Need
Hundreds of tables, charts, and figures make this a one-stop resource for the exam. Having ENVRM2 with you in the exam cuts down considerably on the number of other specialized resources you'll need. You won't have to juggle 10 different books to find what you need.
The Practice You Need
In the companion Practice Problems (ISBN 1-888577-99-1), more than 370 problems are coordinated to the topics in ENVRM2, giving you lots of opportunity to test your skills. Complete solutions are included.
A Comprehensive Glossary
When you confront a word that doesn't look familiar, go to ENVRM2's glossary for a quick definition.
And a Great Index, So You Can Find It All Fast!
During the exam, when you need to look something up, you can't afford to waste time finding it. The detailed, cross-referenced index in this book guarantees that you'll find what you're looking for--quickly and easily.
All Known Errata Corrected
All of the errata that have been identified in ENVRM are corrected in ENVRM2.
Publisher Description
This book is written primarily for engineers taking the environmental PE exam. After the exam, the Environmental Engineering Reference Manual provides practicing engineers with a handy distillation of the environmental engineering field, including problem-solving examples and methods that typical references don't offer.

Reader Reviews
My undergraduate was in Geography. My Masters in Environmental Engineering. I am not good at math, and formulas with greek letters still make me tense inside. Having said this, here are the books you need to concentrate on to pass this exam the first time. 1. This book. It needs to be your centerpiece, your touchstone. You need to know this book, and especially the tables and appendices. Location, Location, Location is so important, know where everything is in this book. Make this book part of your life. Travel with it, sit with it, take it on your 10 minute coffee breaks... just know this book. 2. Next: 101 Solved Engineering Problems. This book has the most realistic PE Problems. Do them all. They are categorized by type so you must write the page from Lindeberg next to the problem in this book for quick cross reference. This is your best book for quickly finding an example of what you are trying to solve on the test. 3. Next: Lindeberg Practice Problems. Also good, but not as good as 101 (above). Use this as a reference. It aligns with the Lindeberg Hard Cover for quick cross reference. 4. Last: Environmental Engineering Practice Exams (Schneiter). Do all the problems. It looks like a Lindeberg, but it isn't. Like 101 Solved Problems, you must cross-reference the problems with there topic location in Lindeberg Hard Cover. Questions are not in a particular order (4 practice exams, level about right), but questions are in random order which makes look-up during exam tough. 5. Environmental Law Handbook (Sullivan). Need this for the regulatory, and statutory questions. Find a good OSHA book too. 6. Last: Environmental Engineering Calculations (Lee & Lin). This book is expensive and big, but it is a good fail safe. What I liked about it is it presented things differently than Lindeberg, in case I didn't understand where Lindeberg was coming from. 7. I HATE CONVERSIONS, and the test is full of them. If you hate conversions, buy Lindeberg's Engineering Conversions. It is a time saver. You do not have time to use even all of these references. Just don't show up with a heck of a lot more. You need to drill, drill, drill, on the problems so when you see them on the PE, it is like regurgatation. Lindeberg Hard Cover will covers everything you need to know... this book is your centerpiece!
