TEXTBOOK
Clark: 53 Highbury, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 3LN. Now retired. Dr Chris Frid (University of Newcastle upon Tyne) and Martin Attrill (University of Plymouth) contributed some sections and advised on content
"Marine Pollution is a highly recommended introductory text for
those who are studying or dealing with one of the many aspects of
marine sciences". Journal of Marine Systems, 2002
[The fifth edition of] this timeless book ... is updated (again)
and revised (again) and is indeed an excellent book (again). What
is so good about it is the way it neatly extracts key subjects and
issues, and distils them into fairly short, clear and concise
sections. This is particularly valuable for people who need a brief
account of something not normally in their own field ... The
diagrams ... are almost universally excellent and clear - a worthy
component
of a thoroughly good book. Marine Pollution Bulletin, v.42 n.9,
2001
`The ten chapters of this third edition of Marine Pollution are, as
previously, packed full of information presented in a logical,
methodical sequence and with the refreshing clarity indicative of
an author who not only knows his subject inside out but is capable
of imparting that knowledge to others in a clear and concise
way.''
Environmental Policy and Practice, Oct/Nov 1992
`This textbook is a clear and objective introduction to marine
pollution ... The third edition of this highly acclaimed book has
been extensively revised to give the most up-to-date information
available and to reflect current international views on marine
pollution.'
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom,
Volume 73, number 1, 1993
`Environmental enthusiasts will find this revised third edition
covering marine pollutants and their environmental impact to be a
valuable reference.'
Biological Abstracts/RRM, Volume 44, Issue 10, May 1993
`This is the third edition of a well-known book ... I find "Marine
Pollution" a complete success and of valuable assistance to any
undergraduate student involved with the subject ...a book which
presents an excellent combination of readability, high scientific
standards, actuality and scientific rationale on marine pollution
... an ideal introductory textbook.'
Michael O. Angelidis, Environemntal Pollution 81 (1993)
`this is a well-organized introduction to an important field ...
Students and scientists with an interest in a safe and healthy
environment, and people who will settle for nothing less than
impartial facts and basic knowledge, will undoubtedly benefit from
this book.'
Israel Journal of Zoology, Vol. 39, 1993
`This fourth edition of "Marine Pollution" is a well-illustrated,
readable, basic text. ... it is an affordable text for students and
libraries with limited funding.'
Journal of Natural History, 1997
`it should certainly encourage students, as set out in the Preface,
to think independently.'
James G. Wilson, University of Dublin, Journal of Experimental
Marine Biology and Ecology, 218 (1997)
`important book ... In my review of the previous edition I
described it as 'very readable, well-illustrated and informative',
to which I would only add that this edition is also bang
up-to-date. It is ideal for anyone who wants to find out more about
the subject, and I reckon that even those working as specialists in
pollution will find it a useful source of guidance in matters
outside their particular field of study.'
John Wright, Ocean Challenge, 7(3) 1998
