Ecotoxicology offers a comprehensive overview of the science
underpinning the recognition and management of environmental
contamination. It describes the toxicology of environmental
contaminants, the methods used for assessing their toxicity and
ecological impacts, and approaches employed to mitigate pollution
and ecological health risks globally. Chapters cover the latest
advances in research, including genomics, natural toxins, endocrine
disruption and the toxicology of radioactive substances. The second
half of the book focuses on applications, such as cradle-to-grave
effects of selected industries, legal and economic approaches to
environmental regulation, ecological risk assessment, and
contaminated site remediation. With short capsules written by
invited experts, numerous case studies from around the world and
further reading lists, this textbook is designed for advanced
undergraduate and graduate one-semester courses. It is also a
valuable reference for graduate students and professionals. Online
resources for instructors and students are also available.

Environmental Toxicology is a comprehensive introductory textbook dealing with most aspects of the subject, from the molecular to the ecosystem level. Early chapters deal with basic to advanced concepts, methods and approaches. The next discusses the environmental toxicology of individual or groups of substances. The third part addresses complex issues, in which many of the concepts, approaches and substances covered in earlier parts are incorporated. The fourth part includes chapters on risk assessment, rehabilitation and regulatory toxicology. The book concludes with a summary of present and future areas of emphasis. Each chapter contains a comprehensive list of references and further reading, case studies from different jurisdictions, and student exercises.
Please replace book description with the following: All six foot
two of Jake Southern stepped onto the gravel covered road atop the
levee, giving him a view of the winding river and the summer
haze-covered landscape of the Mississippi Delta. Jake had come home
again. Home to what? He had left twenty-five years ago the town and
people who had helped shape his life. Now he was summoned back.
What would he discover there or uncover about himself and the
people he had loved? Would he find them the same or find all his
memories were lies? Jake would return to find the world along the
Mississippi river different from what he had left as a young man.
Was it different or was he? Murder, greed, betrayal, love and honor
were what he found in coming home. And through all of this, he
would find what he had been searching for all these years. David
Wright says, "life really does begin at 50." That's when he began
writing "stories" for family members, and through their
encouragement River Rock was born. David paints pictures with
words. Love of his native Mississippi Delta brought this novel to
life. His talent as a Mississippi story teller, who can't help
embellishing just a bit, is evident in his unforgettable
characters, rich history and settings of the Delta. David spent his
career in the trucking industry; the last years as a national
spokesman for that industry.
