Reviews

The book is intended for a technical audience; however, the readability of the text makes it accessible for nonscientists interested in bioremediation. Ample diagrams, tables, and primary research resources accompany each chapter. This book will be a valuable resource for environmental science, environmental policy, and pollution control library collections. - B. R. Shmaefsky, Lone Star College - Kingwood
