Clear explanations, well written, an excellent textbook., 2000-11-24
Of all the books I have bought for use as a reference in my work, this is the best purchase I have made to date. The text covers many forms of pollutants, how they get in to the environment, what happens to them when they get there, how they disperse, and their effects on each other, on individual organisms, populations and communities. The writing is clear and concise and very easy to understand, covering all the important classes of pollutants. Many books are needlessly bogged down with weighty details and cumbersome explanations, or with poorly explained diagrams which seem to bear little or no relevance to the text. This book is quite the opposite. However although it is essentially an outline text, I feel that some topics could have had more explanation, eg. Cytochrome P450 and endocrine disruptors - though perhaps these are the remit of more in-depth biochemistry texts. Purely from a practical point of view, this book is an excellent reference for research, study and practice of many aspects of environmental science.
