Reviews “In this book, new data are presented about the distribution of heavy metals in soils and other rocks of natural and arable fields, which is necessary for estimation of its availability for agricultural plants. Well-known scientists from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Belarus obtained experimental data. They are specialists in their own scientific fields and represent scientific centers from their various regions, which differ significantly in their natural conditions. The authors describe different challenges to decrease the technogenic load on the environment of the countryside as well as to evaluate possibilities of sustainable development of agriculture. This monograph is intended for ecologists who are specialists in the field of environmental protection and conservation of biological diversity. The book may also be used by practical ecologists, geneticists, plant physiologists, and specialists in related scientific fields. The book will be helpful for lecturers, students, and faculty who are interested in problems of the interrelation between living organisms and abiotic environments.” —Alexander N. Goloshchapov, PhD, Deputy Director and Head, Laboratory of Physical and Chemical Bases of Biological Systems, Emanuel Institute Biochemical Chemistry of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia “The detailed coverage of diverse topics indicates an impressive breadth of knowledge on this subject. Heavy Metals and Other Pollutants in the Environment has succeeded in providing an overview of both new data and divergent views of specialists in different fields of biological and ecological knowledge on interrelation between abiotic environment and living organisms. Although there is particular emphasis on East European territory, this book will appeal to researchers in other countries, regardless of their regional interests, in addition to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in soil science, chemistry, botany, microbiology and ecology.” —— Nikolai V.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with. In the same vein, I hope AAP was satisfied with the book series I have edited in advancing the knowledge. It has been a great journey and was a great pleasure and satisfaction. Advancing scholarship through publications is one of the best routes publishers can take, and I would hold AAP as one of the best ones.” —Saber Saleuddin, PhD, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada AAP book title: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology: Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Macromolecular Systems “It had been my pleasure to work with the production team of Apple Academic Press for almost a decade.
