"... the most detailed literary assessment of the subject available today...." (Advances in Horticultral Science, Vol. 19 (3), 2005) "This comprehensive book represents a significant and valuable contribution…highly recommended for anyone working or interested in this subject." (Soil Science, April 2005) "The detail and broad range of topics make this book useful for students as well as regulatory experts and people actively working in the field of phytoremediation." (Ground Water, January/February 2005) "... an indispensable reference to practical case studies...." (International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Vol.84, No.14-15, 10-20 December 2004) "... an interesting and absorbing read, and the technologies are presented in an organized, detailed and useful manner." (Chemical Health & Safety, September-October 2004) "... represents an excellent contribution to the ultimate success of phytoremediation technology." (Journal of Environmental Quality, July-August 2004) "It provides a comprehensive and in-depth source of current scientific knowledge, as well as extensive reference citations, to be of great value to the scientific researcher in this field." (SIM News, July/August 2004) "It is noted that all chapters were peer reviewed. The 80 plus contributors are broadly drawn from universities, government agencies, consulting firms, and foreign laboratories." (Journal of Hazardous Materials, 108, March 2004) "There are countless examples of useful figures, tables, diagrams, illustrations, and schematics, which by themselves make the book worth acquiring." (E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 5) "... one of the best books on phytoremediation for organic contaminants available today... a complete, current, and highly valuable resource...." (Veterinary and Human Toxicology, Vol. 46, No. 2, April 2004)
