Summary
Summary
Presents a timely exploration of research topics in environmental chemistry of lakes and reservoirs. Includes coverage of methodological advances in studies of lake geochemistry; cycling and distribution of major elements in aquatic systems; behavior of trace metals, with an emphasis on processes that control their solubility and transport, and behavior and fate of organic contaminants. Valuable reading for chemists, environmental engineers, biologists, and scientists involved in practical aspects of water pollution.

Choice Review
This volume, the result of a 1991 international symposium, provides an excellent and timely overview of recent progress in the knowledge of the environmental chemistry of lakes and reservoirs. The authors have the difficult task of simultaneously reporting on the latest research as well as offering an introduction to the field for a broad audience. This effort is quite successful. The individual authors include enough background to introduce each topic to nonexperts; the coverage of the subject is broad; the illustrations and figures are excellent; and a thorough index is included. The book is arranged into sections that cover modern geochemical methods, cycling of the major elements and trace elements, and, finally, a shorter section on organic pollutants. Unlike some of the other recent books on this subject, both North American as well as European bodies of water are used as examples. A fine treatment of an important topic, especially recommended for libraries that support environmental programs. Upper-division undergraduate through faculty. H. E. Pence; SUNY College at Oneonta
