Wastewater management and treatment are pressing issues that require both cheap and effective solutions for a sustainable world, especially in rural areas. Conventional treatments using traditional materials are very costly and sometimes provide undesirable results. Therefore, it is essential to develop cheaper, still effective, advanced materials for the purpose. This new book, Advances in Water and Wastewater Treatment: Theoretical and Experimental Approach, discusses the various techniques and methodologies for the utilization of advanced materials for water and wastewater treatment.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality.
