Section I covers the definition, history and methodology of ecotoxicology. Section II comprises five case studies, each detailing a selected anthropogenic stress, showing how the ecotoxicological approach has been used to explain its environmental impact and by doing so has provided mitigation and restoration strategies. The final section highlights future directions of ecotoxicology. To aid in reader learning, each chapter includes a test bank and reading list for further study. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by a highly experienced instructor with more than 30 years of studying and teaching the subject, \u003ci\u003eEcotoxicology\u003c\/i\u003e includes case studies on: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcid rain in the past and in the present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinfish and shellfish aquaculture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe extraction of bitumen from the oil sands of Alberta, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe release of toxic metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium, and the dumping of chemical wastes and other contaminants of concern in the Great Lakes area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEcotoxicology: A Case-based Approach\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential guide for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students in ecology and environmental sciences, as well as professionals and policy makers concerned with the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I A Working Framework for the Science of Ecotoxicology \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Ecotoxicology in Context 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Circular Versus Linear 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Life 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Evolution of Ecotoxicology 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection II Case Studies \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e57\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Acid Deposition within the Framework of Ecotoxicology 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Mercury, Lead, and Cadmium 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Aquaculture 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Big Oil 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 The Dark Side of Carbon 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection III The Future of Ecotoxicology \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e257\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 The Future of Ecotoxicology: Where to Now? 259\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences and Further Readings 281\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 299\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: The environment [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on The environment\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22The%20environment%20%5BRN%5D%22\"\u003eRN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52433201463576,"sku":"9781394197446","price":78.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781394197446.jpg?v=1784851573","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ecotoxicology-a-case-based-approach-hardback-9781394197446","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
