Greetings,

Since we're here anyway, I have a few dense college textbooks which I'm supposed to derive information from. Any suggestions as to how one might go about this in a useful way? I'm not gonna lie, the writing can lull me to sleep at points.
What are they about?

Kindest regards,

James

Wastewater Processes/Operations. Covers a variety of topics, including:

The construction and use of pumps/tanks/gravity belts/barscreens/grinders

Disinfection, the three most popular being chlorination (includes methods of dechlorination), ozone, and ultraviolet light

Protozoa, metazoa, and other such critters commonly seen in the wastewater process

Fixed growth processes, general expectations

Activated sludge processes, general expectations that I haven't even been introduced to yet

Solids reduction from wastewater

Biochemical Oxygen Demand reduction from wastewater

Nitrification and denitrification

Lab work that I havent even been introduced to yet


And me, some dude that never learned to properly study in high school.

It depends from the info that you must get.

If I've a book that I have never read first I go to the index and read every title, then jump to the relevant pages and every page I glance casually to see if there are words relevant to my research and just when I'm done I read the sections that contained the words.

Just one way in which I do it... It helps to cut out what's not important OR to get a general idea of what you're gonna read.

Wow you're busy - I'll save you some time - yes, the pig died, but it died surrounded by love.

What a misleading way to conduct research. Unless you maintain a list of every possible synonym, and also manage to scan for phrases that mean the same thing, then you must miss 99% of the relevant material.

Oh wait, of course - you'll say you didn't miss anything.

That gag maybe a little too provincial and too old!
You mean anybody who gets it might be a little too provincial and old.

Of course, I'm so old, I let my fingers do all the walking these days...

Aww, it's the only way he knows to make sure we all realize how serious he is, and how weighty his ideas must be.

Nothing says 'my brilliance conceives of all reality, and you would be lucky to worship at my feet' than a well-timed Spongebob meme.
