Sewage Pollution and Microbiology: This is an introduction to sevage pollution and microbiology for students of science, medicine, and environmental science which is designed to hold the reader's attention and to stimulate his interest.
Author has kept the book short so as to encourage the student to feel that he can grasp and understand the whole subject; a point especially important at a time when other subjects are making large
demands on his time

High-Pressure Microbiology: First volume entirely devoted to the effects of high pressure on microorganisms. It brings together the high-pressure physiology of piezophiles and non-piezophiles. It spans the range from basic science to practical applications. It provides fundamental insight for food technologists applying high pressure for food preservation. It includes unique material to illustrate bacterial adaptations to extreme high-pressure environments. It also provides a basis for novel biotechnological applications using high pressure. It highlights the microbial wealth and ecological impact of the deep biosphere. It offers comprehensive source of information on ecology, physiology, and genomics of deep sea bacteria.

Medical Microbiology: Medical Microbiology comprises and integrates the fields of immunology, bacteriology, virology, mycology, and parasitology, each of which has seen considerable independent development in the past few decades. The common bond between them is the focus on the causes of infectious diseases and on the reactions of the host to the pathogens. Although the advent of antibiotics and vaccines has certainly taken the dread out of many infectious diseases, the threat of infection is still a fact of life: New pathogens are constantly being discovered; strains of �old� ones have developed resistance to antibiotics, making therapy more and more difficult; incurable infectious diseases (AIDS, rabies) are still with us.

"Soil Microbiology and Sustainable Crop Production": Soils into which crop plants root and from which they obtain essential minerals and water contain huge arrays of microbes. Many have highly beneficial effects on crop growth and productivity, others are pathogens causing diseases and losses to yield and quality, a few microbes offer protection from these pathogenic forms and others have little or no effect. These intimate and often complex inter-relationships are being explored with increasing success providing exciting opportunities for increasing crop yields and quality in sustainable harmony with the populations of beneficial soil microbes and to the detriment of pathogens. This book explores current knowledge for each of these aspects of soil microbiology and indicates where future progress is most likely to aid in increasing crop productivity by means which are environmentally benign and beneficial.

"Environmental Microbiology of Aquatic and Waste Systems": This book places the main actors in environmental microbiology, namely the microorganisms, on center stage. Using the modern approach of 16S ribosomal RNA, the book looks at the taxonomy of marine and freshwater bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, viruses, and the smaller aquatic animals such as nematodes and rotifers, as well as at the study of unculturable aquatic microorganisms (metagenomics). The peculiarities of water as an environment for microbial growth, and the influence of aquatic microorganisms on global climate and global recycling of nitrogen and sulphur are also examined. The pollution of water is explored in the context of self-purification of natural waters. Modern municipal water purification and disease transmission through water are discussed. Alternative methods for solid waste disposal are related to the economic capability of a society. Viruses are given special attention. By focusing on the basics, this primer will appeal across a wide range of disciplines.
