Reviews

The detailed coverage of diverse topics indicates an impressive breadth of knowledge on this subject. Heavy Metals and Other Pollutants in the Environment has succeeded in providing an overview of both new data and divergent views of specialists in different fields of biological and ecological knowledge on interrelation between abiotic environment and living organisms. Although there is particular emphasis on East European territory, this book will appeal to researchers in other countries, regardless of their regional interests, in addition to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in soil science, chemistry, botany, microbiology and ecology. - Nikolai V. Glotov, DSc, Professor, Dept. of Biology, Mari State University, Yoshkar-Ola, Russia
