Toronto. 1977. Vol. 1: pp. 371, Vol. 2: pp. 1045, Vol. 3: pp. 405. Price: $50.00 for three volumes. These volumes contain papers given at the international conference in Canada in October 1975. The general standard of the papers, all of which were independently refereed, is high. Although a wide range of topics are dealt with, the coverage is not comprehensive, but the publication should be valuable to all those working in this field.
Trace-element Contamination of the Environment. Fundamental Aspects of Pollution Control and Environmental Science, 1. By David Purves. Elsevier, Amsterdam, Oxford, New York. 1977. Pp. 260. Price: $34-75. This book evaluates the global consequences of the dispersal of trace elements originally mined from localised deposits. Most attention is paid to contamination of the soil, but there is some account of the problem as it affects the atmosphere and the hydrosphere. The final chapter deals with the prevention of environmental pollution.
