Reviews
--JOURNAL OF CONTAMINANT HYDROLOGY, Praise for the First Edition:
"Serves an important function in presenting a complete picture of biodegradation in the environment. It belongs on the shelf of everybody active in the study of biodegradation and bioremediation."
--SOCIETY FOR GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY QUARTERLY
"A compendious account of the field in a form accessible to microbiologists, chemists, toxicologists and environmental scientists and
engineers. His book succeeds admirably... Well indexed, its diagrams large and clear... It will serve as an excellent text and as an
invaluable source of reference."
--JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
"A cogent and well-organized review of the principles of biodegradation in a book that should prove useful to a great many people."
--BIOSCIENCE
"A spectacular job of addressing the kinetics of degradation reactions."
--SOIL SCIENCE
"A very timely book... Recommended as a valuable resource."
--CIVIL ENGINEERING (July 1999)
"New chapters in this edition give a broader scope to existing information on such topics as predicting the products of biodegradation,
bioremediation of metals and other inorganic pollutants, and the formation and biodegradation of air pollutants."
--L.C. Davis in CHOICE (October 1999)
"Alexander has produced a readable account that provides an entry point for a diverse range of specialists in many fields."
qu:"Martin Alexander has done a superb job of compiling the most recent fundamental and technological aspects of biodegradation and bioremediation
of contaminants in a single volume."
