From the reviews:"This is part of the series Soil Biology (Volume 17) and is a compact hardback book. I hope by the end of the book I will have a good update of fungi in bioremediation. The book comprises 18 chapters written by numerous authors. ... This hardback book is printed on good quality paper ... . provides a very good account of the topic of biological remediation by an expert group of authors. ... should be available in University libraries."
