New Edition of a Bestseller!

Principles ofEcotoxicologyFourth EditionC.H. Walker, R.M. Sibly,S.P. Hopkin, and D.B. Peakall

“An excellent fresh edition to one of the best ecotoxicology textbooks. Authored by some of thebest scientists in the field, it deserves a place onthe bookshelf of any serious environmental scien-tist.”—Michael C. Newman, College of William & Mary –

Virginia Institute of Marine Science, USA

Emphasizing principles rather than practice, thisnew edition of a bestseller continues to givereaders an integrated view of ecotoxicology,from molecules to ecosystems. It describes themajor classes of pollutants and discusses theireffects on living organisms. It also addresses thequestion, "what effects do pollutants have onpopulations, communities, and the wholeecosystem?" In addition to updating the textthroughout, this edition includes information onnanoparticle pollution, offers new case studies,and expands coverage of bioaccumulation, bio-markers, and risk assessment. A new chapterexplores future prospects for ecotoxicology.

• Relates mechanisms of toxicity to ecologicaleffects at the level of populations, communi-ties, and ecosystems

• Considers how concepts of ecotoxicologymay contribute to improved methods ofenvironmental risk assessment

• Addresses the problem of progressing frommeasuring concentrations of environmentalchemicals to establishing their effects uponindividuals, populations, and communities

• Includes numerous examples, case studies,and more than 150 illustrations

The authors usestraightforward language and emphasize thetechnical aspects and the practical applicationsof renewable energy, rather than math and the-oretical science. The book contains case studies,illustrations, examples from real-world situa-tions, to-the-point explanations, end-of-chapterquestions, and quizzes to reinforce learning.

A resource for advocates and stakeholders, thisbook provides understanding of economic valu-ation in project prioritization and other decision-making aspects of stream or watershed restora-tion. It supplies basic background on the typesof ecological goods and services that are oftenvalued and details the types of questions thatmust be asked in watershed project analysis. Itallows those who are not economists to be com-fortable discussing things like contingent valua-tion, marginal costs, nonmarket goods, andother terms needed to satisfy the economicanalysis requirements often needed to securefunding for projects.

SustainableDevelopment asa CivilizationalRevolutionA MultidisciplinaryApproach to theChallenges of the21st CenturyArtur PawlowskiInstitute of Environmental Protection Engineering, Lublin University of Technology, Poland

As a concept, sustainable development is in con-trast with traditional development based uponeconomic growth. Sustainable development isan attempt to formulate a program that inte-grates different aspects (ecological, social, andeconomical) which were usually considered asseparate from each other. SustainableDevelopment as a Civilizational Revolution: AMultidisciplinary Approach to the Challenges ofthe 21st Century expands the discussion on sus-tainable development, including ethical, techni-cal/technological, legal, and political aspects.

Effect of AlgalBiofilm andOperationalConditions onNitrogenRemoval in WasteStabilizationPondsMohammed BabuUNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

The possibility of optimizing treatment andreducing land requirement in WSPs is para-mount. WSPs are known to provide treatmentfor wastewater but these have several draw-backs, which include short-circuiting, limitedarea for microbial attachment, oxygen limited toupper aerobic layer, and large area for construc-tion. This study proposes investigating ways ofaddressing these issues by use of vertical baffles.It is expected that vertical baffling will reduceshort-circuiting, create more area for microbialattachment, and alter wastewater flow from aer-obic to anaerobic zones. The overall effect ofimproving nitrogen removal is anticipated.

The US Centers for Disease Control recently con-cluded that elimination of moisture and mouldymaterials in the home definitively results inimproved health. Unfortunately, problems ofaccurate assessment and precise identificationplague the full understanding of the effects ofmould on human health.Addressing exposure assessment and identifica-tion, Microorganisms in Home and IndoorWork Environments discusses the methodologyfor conducting investigations on indoor environ-ments, including details on key fungi and acti-nobacteria, and reflects advances in predictingtheir occurrence in buildings in various parts ofthe world. Beginning with a review of types of microorgan-isms in outdoor and indoor air, their growth andcontrol in home and work environments, andtheir role in respiratory disease, this second edi-tion presents recent studies on pollen and itsallergenic effects, the mechanistic basis for theeffects of toxins and inflammatory agents onlung biology, and the use of molecular methodsfor determining microbial contaminants. On thepractical side, this edition examines remedia-tion, control, and quality assurance; occupation-al exposures in a wide range of environments;and infectious fungi and bacterial endotoxins inthe built environment. Bringing together the state-of-the-science in thishealth-critical field, this accurate and timelybook offers researchers, public health officials,and industrial hygienists crucial information onspecific microorganisms in the built environ-ment, along with current measurement andassessment solutions to clean up indoor air andkeep residents and workers healthy in the future.
