BOOK REVIEWS
Environmental Impact of Nonpoint Source Pollution. Edited by M. R. Overcash and James M. Davidson. Ann Arbor Science, Ann Arbor. 1980. Pp. 449. ISBN 0 250 40339 0. Pricc: £16.50. This book contains 13 papers by various authors on the problems of water pollution which arise from non-point sources of pollution from pesticides, pathogens, nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment and organic wastes. There are also five critical discussions on specific papers, and an introductory paper discussing the relevant Environmental Protection Agency's programme on non-point source modelling.
Proceedings of the 34th Industrial Waste Conference, May 8, 9 and I 0 1979, P~ rdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. Edited by John M. Bell. Ann Arbor Science, Ann Arbor. 1980. Pp. 999. ISBN 250 40348 X. Price: £33.00. As usual, this annual production contains many useful and practical papers on a variety of topics. Sections in this volume include those on coal, coke and power plant wastes, steel and foundry wastes, chemical wastes, food wastes, metal wastes and paper wastes, together with those dealing with more general problems.
Sulfur in Australia. Edited by J. R. Freney and A. J. Nicolson. Australian Academy of Science, Canberra. 1980. Pp. 268. ISBN 0 85847 059 4. Price: Australian $26.50. Most studies on sulphur, particularly as a pollutant, have been carried out in Europe and North America where industry is mostly situated and man-made emissions predominate. One might expect there to be little problem in a huge underpopulated continent like Australia. There are serious local pollution problems near smelters, but general levels are low and problems of sulphur shortage in 83
