Confusion now hath made his masterpiece Macbeth II iii 72 Whence
and what are those execrable shape? Paradise Lost Ib 1 681
Confusion worse confounded Paradise Lost Ib 1 995 When the
manuscript for the first part of this book was proposed, it was
anticipated that the discussion of the entire field of protein se
quencing could be covered in a single volume - from purification
and characterization of the protein through fragmentation by
chemical or enzymic means and, finally, to reassembly of the
identified individual peptides into the reconstructed total
sequence. It soon became evident that this would not be possible.
While the intent was to restrict the expose of procedures only to
that information concerned with "hands on" wet chemistry, it became
apparent that a thorough presentation would require, in addition, a
discussion of certain instrumental and more theoretical approaches
not included in the first volume. Furthermore, the entire
understanding of the field of protein sequencing has advanced
appreciably since the inception of this book. The purpose of the
first volume was to provide practical information in sufficient
detail to permit the researcher to undertake the actual sequencing
procedures in his own laboratory."
Chromium in the Natural and Human Environments Edited by Jerome O.
Nriagu and Evert Nieboer "Essential reading for researchers and
students of environmental and occupational health effects of
metals." - The Science of the Total Environment Representing the
most comprehensive coverage to date on the uses of chromium, its
sources (both natural and anthropogenic), and occurrence in the
air, water, and soil, this timely volume addresses the growing
concern about chromium's ultimate effect on the environment. The
toxicity of chromium to terrestrial and aquatic biota is examined
in relation to its chemistry and biochemistry, with discussion of
toxicological models of chromium hypersensitivity, mutagenicity,
carcinogenicity, and toxicokinetics. Features include graphical
representation of the voluminous mutagenicity and animal
carcinogenicity data according to chromium compound type. 1988 (0

Jerome O. Nriagu and John B. Sprague "This book contains a wealth
of information useful to many different types of scientists." -
Journal of the American Chemical Society Considered a priority
natural water contaminant, cadmium has, like other toxic metals,
been closely monitored. Featuring the latest research of some of
the world's leading environmental specialists, this important text
is a comprehensive look at the sources, distribution, and fate of
cadmium in aquatic ecosystems, as well as the biocycling and
ecotoxicity of cadmium in natural waters. The book's topical
breadth also includes cadmium associations in freshwater and marine
sediments, the latest techniques used for cadmium detection, and
the scientific rationale needed to establish water quality criteria
and standards for the presence of cadmium. 1987 (0
471-85884-6)272pp. Food Contamination From Environmental Sources
Edited by Jerome O. Nriagu and Milagros S. Simmons "The quality of
the writing is uniformly high the book will serve as a valuable
reference to graduate-level readers in food science, public health,
and toxicology, as well as to environmental biologists and chemists
" - Choice The exposure of all levels of the human food chain to
environmental contaminants has transformed the human body into a
biomonitor of environmental pollutants. This international
collection of 22 studies from leading researchers examines every
facet of the problem. The book's far-ranging and detailed coverage
includes the detection, sources, distribution, speciation, and
bioavailability of environmental contaminants and their metabolites
in various food products, as well as the toxicological and health
significance of the observed contaminant levels in foods. 1990 (0
