Ecological Effects of Waste Water. By E. B. Welch and T. Lindell. Cambridge University Press, London. 1980. Pp. 337. ISBN0521224950 (hardback), ISBN 0 521 29525 4 (paperback). Price: Hardback, £15.00; Paperback, £5.50. A useful and practical account of its subject, aimed partly at non-biologists by its simplified treatment of biological topics. It is suitable for students and practitioners in environmental engineering and freshwater ecology as related to pollution.
Ecology and Coal Resource Development, 2 vols. Edited by Mohan K. Wali. Based on the International Congress for Energy and the Ecosystem held at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks. 12-16 June 1978. 1979. Pp. 1069. ISBN 0 08 023863 7. Price: £62.50 (US$135.00). These two volumes contain nearly a hundred-and-thirty papers given at the International Congress for Energy and the Ecosystem, held at the University of North Dakota in June 1978. They cover their subject comprehensively, dealing with a wide range of environmental problems in most of the major coal-producing countries of the world.
Monitoring and Environmental Materials and Specimen Banking. Edited by N.-P. Luepke. Martinus Nijhoff B.V., The Hague. 1980. Pp. 591. ISBN 90 247 2303 5. Price: 150 Guilders. This book contains the conclusions and recommendations of the International Workshop on Monitoring Environmental Materials and Specimen Banking held in West Berlin in October 1978. The topics discussed are summarised and collated in the first 85 pages, then we have twenty pages giving short summaries of the 38 163 Environ. Pollut. Ser. A. 23 (1980)--© Applied Science Publishers Ltd, England, 1980 Printed in Great Britain

papers. The rest of the volume contains the texts of these contributions. Details are given on the selection of plant and animal materials and of the recommended environmental methods. Any worker in this field who was not present at the Workshop will find the book invaluable.
Hydrocarbons and Halogenated Hydrocarbons in the Aquatic Environment. Edited by B. K. Afghan and D. Mackay. Plenum Press, New York, London. 1980. Pp. 588. ISBN 0 306 40329 3. Price: $59.50. These articles are a selection of the papers given at the International Symposium on the Analysis of Hydrocarbons and Halogenated Hydrocarbons in the Aquatic Environment, held in May 1978. Eleven papers describe quantitative analytical results, 12 are on analytical methods, 9 are on incidence, monitoring and pathways and 13 discuss health and biological effects in drinking water. K.M.
