This book is outlined more as a collection of journal articles on the various aspects of water treatment than as a solid text book style reference book. The book does not "flow" well. I had to use the book for a graduate class, but after leaving academia I now use "Water Treatment: Principles and Design, Second Edition" published by Wiley (and no, I'm not an MWH employee).
