An Introduction to Environmental Biotechnology provides an
introduction to the subject of environmental biotechnology.
Environmental biotechnology refers to the use of micro-organisms
and other living systems to solve current environmental problems
such as the detoxification of pollutants and clean-up of oil tanker
spills. Additionally, it refers to the biotechnology of the
agricultural environment, as well as the use of biopesticides and
the application of microorganisms to the mining, metal recovery and
paper industries. This is the only comprehensive introductory
account of this subject matter. Beginning with an introduction to
microbial growth, An Introduction to Environmental Biotechnology
aims to provide the non-specialist with a complete overview of
environmental biotechnology. It is presented in an easy to read
style with illustrations and includes frequent references to the
use of higher plants as well as micro-organisms in environmental
biotechnology. An Introduction to Environmental Biotechnology is
geared toward a non-specialist audience, including engineers and
environmental chemists, and environmental scientists who have
limited knowledge of microbiology and biotechnology.

With the rapid growth of new evidence from astronomy, space science
and biology that supports the theory of life as a cosmic rather
than terrestrial phenomenon, this book discusses a set of crucial
data and pictures showing that life is still arriving at our
planet. Although it could spark controversy among the most hardened
sceptics this book will have an important role in shaping future
science in this area.
