Using actual case studies, this book gives the reader a broad but comprehensive review of the approaches that scientists have used to treat hazardous waste with microorganisms. There is a very nice mix of topics ranging from theoretical aspects of biodegradation to practical field applications. The writing is consistantly excellent, which is a tribute to the efforts of the editors (Lewandowksi and DeFilippi). Highly recommended to those involved in the field!

As a resource book, it is at the top of the most used books in my office. Whether you have a comprehensive knowledge of environmental microbiology or only a cursory understanding, you will benefit from the contents of this book. It is well presented with numerous cross references, graphs and illustrations which only goes to further augment its considerable substance. I highly recommend this book.
