Pollution is the most serious of all environmental problems and poses a major threat to the health and well-being of millions of people and global ecosystems. Other major environmental problems are either wholly or partly caused by pollution; these include global warming, climatic change and the loss of biodiversity through the extinction of many species. In the future, environmental pressures can only increase as a result of population growth and the expectation of higher living standards. For at least thirty years people have become increasingly aware of these issues. As a result governments and regulatory bodies have responded by taking action against grossly polluting activities and by enforcing tighter limits on the emission of pollutants into the environment. As the level of control improves so the financial costs increase exponentially, hence an effective limit must be imposed which does not impose unacceptable burdens on industrial producers. As a consequence of the increasing economic and legal pressures which result from pollution control, there is a growing need for greater under standing of the scientific principles underlying environmental pollution.

This latest volume in the Tertiary Level Biology serives provides a comprehensive survey of the arguments and techniques of systematics as they are applied today to all groups of organisms. It is written at advanced undergraduate/immediate postgraduate level.

Principles and Techniques of Contemporary Taxonomy (Tertiary Level Biology)

Quicke, Donald L. J.

This book is designed to be of use to the reader in two different ways. First, it is intended to provide a general introduction to all aspects of iron chemistry for readers from a variety of different scientific backgrounds. It has been written at a level suitable for use by graduates and advanced undergraduates in chemistry and biochemistry, and graduates in physics, geology, materials science, metallurgy and biology. It is not designed to be a dictionary of iron compounds but rather to provide each user with the necessary tools and background to pursue their ,individual interests in the wide areas that are influenced by the chemistry of iron. To achieve this goal each chapter has been written by a contemporary expert active in the subject so that the reader will benefit from their individual insight. Although it is generally assumed that the reader will have an understanding of bonding theories and general chemistry, the book is well referenced so that any deficiencies in the reader's background can be addressed. The book was also designed as a general reference book for initial pointers into a scientific literature that is growing steadily as the understanding and uses of this astonishingly versatile element continue to develop. To meet this aim the book attempts some coverage of all aspects of the chemistry of iron, not only outlining what understanding has been achieved to date but also identifying targets to be aimed at in the future.
