Good book for the class

I took an Ecotoxicology course as a fun class, so far the class is great and the book helps clarify some of the topics we are discussing. The chapters are short compared to other textbooks, making it much easier to read. The book contains great diagrams and illustrations/pictures, there are also additional reading suggestions that helped when I was trying to find a project topic. I am glad I decided to take the class and happier that I purchased the suggested book.

An Important Perspective of Ecotoxicology

This text does an excellent job of addressing the subject from a multi-discipline perspective. It is well written but requires some background in chemistry; as it addresses the biological fate of many chemical/organic compounds. It does so in a format that does not prepare the reader for immediate sleep but does require active participation on the part of the reader. This is not a High School or Doctorate level reference but aimed well at the BS level reader.
