Yet enormous quantities of offensive and hazardous organic waste and dirty water are flushed into the sewers every day. So how exactly is it all cleaned up?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Julian Doberski explains in this, his latest book, there's a certain biological magic in the cyclical process of turning sewage into river water, river water into drinking water, and drinking water back into sewage. \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Sewage\u003c\/i\u003e shines a light on this highly technical and complex operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with a look at how societies have attempted to deal with their waste – and avoid devastating waterborne diseases – throughout history, \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Sewage\u003c\/i\u003e goes on to briefly review the current structure and ownership of the UK's 'water services'. The book then considers how the biological health of our natural water bodies is assessed, and the impact of sewage pollution on the finely balanced ecosystems within our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJulian Doberski explores the biological and technological options and challenges of turning domestic wastewater into effluent that can be safely discharged, revealing exactly what goes on in a sewage treatment works. This fascinating book then concludes by highlighting our collective responsibility – whether as citizens, public or private water service companies, or government and government regulatory bodies – for ensuring the quality of our water and the health of our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855225934060,"sku":"9781914902147","price":46.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9e7996b21300b6763c27426a1447db2f.jpg?v=1759279462"},{"product_id":"the-science-of-garden-biodiversity-by-julian-doberski-9781914902093","title":"The Science of Garden Biodiversity","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou step out of the back door into the garden. There may be a few birds flitting around, perhaps butterflies or bumblebees on the wing, but often the garden can seem very still. However, if you look beyond the superficial inactivity, there is an ecological web of wildlife to explore, to understand, and then to encourage more biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Science of Garden Biodiversity: The Living Garden\u003c\/i\u003e shows how data and science can help to dispel myths, such as that wildlife gardens are great for wildlife (and other gardens aren't), that a garden fit for wildlife must be 'wild', and that you must grow native plants. It also provides an understanding of how diverse life can be in gardens and how gardens work. Along the way, there are scientific 'signposts' to better wildlife gardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJulian Doberski explains the role of 'small things'—microorganisms and invertebrates—that are fundamental to the ecological functioning of gardens. Learning more about the ecology of a garden helps us understand what makes a garden a refuge for wildlife and how following the science may lead to a more thoughtful and constructive approach to gardening, garden design, and garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083018879212,"sku":"9781914902093","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21689423482869.jpg?v=1765279067"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/julian-doberski.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
