A copy of the text's original dust cover and fly cover containing a description of the text and a few of the early reviews have been included below for the reader's inspection. Additional information can be reviewed concerning the senior author (via M. D. Campbell and Associates, L.P.) and his consulting practice serving the ground-water supply field (1), the environmental field (2), the mining field (3), and the legal community; see a review of selected, recent cases(4).
