This text details the plant-assisted remediation method,
"phytoremediation", which involves the interaction of plant roots
and associated rhizospheric microorganisms for the remediation of
soil contaminated with high levels of metals, pesticides, solvents,
radionuclides, explosives, crude oil, organic compounds and various
other contaminants. Many chapters highlight and compare the
efficiency and economic advantages of phytoremediation to currently
practiced soil and water treatment practices. Volume 5 of
Phytoremediation: Management of Environmental Contaminants provides
the capstone of the series. Taken together, the five volumes
provide a broad-based global synopsis of the current applications
of phytoremediation using plants and the microbial communities
associated with their roots to decontaminate terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems.

The accumulation of large amounts of contaminants occurs in the
environment due to industrialization and various other
anthropogenic activities. Contaminants ultimately affect human
health worldwide. Organic, inorganic, and radioactive substances
are the prevalent forms of environmental contaminants and their
complete remediation in soils and sediments is rather a difficult
task. Concerns of their toxicities led to the emphasis on
development of effective techniques to assess the presence and
mobility of contaminants in air, water, and soil. Furthermore, the
ever-increasing concentration of toxic pollutants in the
environment is considered a serious threat to plant, animal, human,
and environmental health. Many technologies are in use to clean and
eliminate hazardous contaminants from the environment; however,
these technologies can be costly, labor intensive, and often
distressing to the general public. Phytoremediation is a simple,
cost effective, environmentally friendly and fast-emerging new
technology for eliminating toxic contaminants from different
environments. Phytoremediation refers to the natural ability of
certain plants and their associated microbiome (including
hyper-accumulators or bio-accumulators) to remove, degrade, or
render contaminants harmless. Through this technique, certain
species of plants flourish by accumulating contaminants present in
the environment. The unique and selective uptake capabilities of
plant root and shoot systems, effective translocation,
bioaccumulation, and contaminant degradation capabilities of the
accumulator plants are utilized in phytoremediation techniques.
Phytotechnologies involving the use of plants for contaminant
removal gained importance during the last two decades and
phytoremediation technology became an effective tool for
environmental detoxification because of plants ability to
accumulate the contaminants at very high concentrations.
Phytoremediation strategies can remove, degrade, or stabilize
inorganic and organic contaminants entering a multitude of
ecosystems using green plants and their associated microbial
communities. The development and use of phytotechnologies continues
to move forward at a steady pace. Researchers recognize the
potential of phytoremediation to offer a green, cost effective,
eco-friendly and feasible application to address some of the
world's many environmental challenges. This book provides
significant information to add to the previous volumes published on
the topic and can serve as the foundation for the development of
new applications that feature the integration of modern research
discoveries into new methods to remediate contaminated ecosystems.
Moreover, this volume brings recent and established knowledge on
different aspects of phytoremediation and nano-phytoremediation,
providing this information in a single source that offers a
cutting-edge synthesis of scientific and experiential knowledge on
polluted environments that is useful for policy makers,
practitioners and scientists, and engineers. Phytoremediation:
Management of Environmental Contaminants, Volume 7 highlights the
various prospects that are involved in current global
phytoremediation research. This book delivers a content-rich source
to the reader and can act as a platform for further research
studies. It should meet the needs of all researchers working in, or
have an interest in this particular field.

This non-fiction counting book shows photographs of the following
animals: one crocodile, two elephants, three lions, four birds,
five frogs and six rabbits. Pictures of equal numbers of children
add an element of fun to the book as they pretend to be the
animals. Pink A/Band 1A books offer emergent readers very simple
text supported by illustrations. Text type - A simple information
book. The photographs of the animals and children are repeated in
numerical order on pages 14 and 15 to encourage the children to
count the animals again. This book has been levelled for Reading
Recovery.

'I didn't want Nobody Gets Out Alive to end - to have to leave
behind its warmth and soul and glittering writing, its honesty and
its laughter in the dark' Jonathan Lee, author of The Great Mistake
Set in Leigh Newman's home state of Alaska, Nobody Gets Out Alive
is a collection of dazzling, courageous stories about women
struggling to survive not just grizzly bears and charging moose but
the raw, exhausting legacy of their marriages and families. In
'Howl Palace', an aging widow struggles with a rogue hunting dog
and the memories of her five ex-husbands while selling her house
after bankruptcy. In the title story, 'Nobody Gets Out Alive',
newly married Katrina visits her hometown of Anchorage and blows up
her own wedding reception by flirting with the host and running off
with an enormous mastodon tusk. Alongside stories set in today's
Last Frontier - rife with suburban sprawl, global warming, and
opioid addiction - Newman delves into the remote wilderness of the
1970s and 80s, bringing to life young girls and single moms in
search of a freer, more adventurous America.
