Editorial Reviews
Review
The authors make a point to correct some of the misuses of terminology commonly encountered in this field... a resource appropriate for professionals, graduate, and upper-division undergraduate students, and faculty.
-Choice
The strengths of this new bioremediation guide are the clear and concise manner in which the authors convey the fundamentals and practical aspects of many forms of bioremediation...The book is very well organized, and presents complex concepts in plain language while providing excellent discussions that detail the major bioremediation processes and considerations. The authors have succeeded in producing an informative guide offering many facts and concepts in a format that is enjoyable to read... The book will benefit practitioners and novices alike in the decision-making of where and how to implement bioremediation in the field.-Jean M. Neubeck, Consulting Hydrologist, Alpha Geoscience
...This book on bioremediation provides a great deal of fundamental concepts and technical information necessary to understand and implement a bioremediation strategy at contaminated sites. The authors clearly and directly communicate the basics of bioremediation in plain language that will benefit laymen and practitioners of environmental science... the reading in both easy and informative.-Northeastern Geology and Environmental Sciences
This very multi-disciplinary title is recommended for academic libraries and other special collections that cover the subject areas of environmental engineering, waste recovery, and environmental cleanup monitoring. However, it is more suitable as an overview of, or guide to, the subject rather than a ready reference source.-E-Streams, Vol. 2, No. 2, February 1999 --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

This review is from: Practical Environmental Bioremediation: The Field Guide, Second Edition (Hardcover)
As the owner of gazoline and oil polluted property, I was given a first estimate of $670,000 for site clean-up. After hours of research on the net and reading this book, I contacted a different firm and we were given a decontamination fee of $210,000. That is how good that book was for me.
