The Role of Erosion and Sediment Transport in Nutrient and Contaminant Transfer. M. Stone (ed.). IAHS Press 2000. £48, softback; xii + 308pp. ISBN: 1-901502-26-0.

The book provides an up to date description of the relationship between erosion and sediment transport with nutrient and contaminant transfer. It offers a clear insight into the latest research areas of this subject. The number of international papers illustrates the global expertise that has contributed to the book. This will assist the reader in advancing of the processes that occur in nutrient and contaminant transfer in a global perspective. All of the papers are well written with figures and graphs clearly presented. This publication will be on interest to academic and consulting geologists, hydrogeologists and environmental scientists. Final yearundergraduates may also find this publication useful not only for its technical content but also for determining how data can be best presented.
