Cadmium Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates
Contamination of the environment by cadmium, a relatively rare heavy metal, is increasing and is especially severe in the vicinity of smelters and urban industrialized areas. Very low concentrations of cadmium have been implicated as the cause of numerous deleterious effects to fish and wildlife, especially aquatic life. This report briefly reviews ecological and toxicological aspects of cadmium, with emphasis on natural resources, and provides recommendations for the protection of sensitive species of wildlife and aquatic biota. Subtopics include: enviornmental chemiatry; background concentrations in terrestrial and aquatic organisms; toxic and sublethal effects, including bioaccumulation; and teratogenic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties. parag Keywords: contaminants; natural resources; toxicity; fishes; wildlife; cadmium; heavy metals; metabolism; sublethal effects
Ecotoxicology of Soil Organisms
This book provides a comprehensive examination of all aspects of the ecotoxicology of soil organisms. The book explains how contaminants reach the soil, traces their transport through the soil, and then moves on to examine the effects of contaminants on different groups of soil organisms (e.g., microorganisms, micro- and mesofauna, larger soil animals including vertebrates). The book also considers food chain transfer and discusses risk assessment procedures that are specific to soil conditions. Ecotoxicology of Soil Organisms is the only book to take such a sweeping approach toward soil ecotoxicology.

Trace Elements in Human Health and Disease: Zinc and copper
Trace Elements in Human Health and Disease is a collection of papers presented at an international symposium on trace elements held in Detroit, Michigan on July 10-12, 1974. The symposium provided a forum for discussing the role of essential and toxic elements in human health and disease. These two volumes bring together a vast amount of information on trace elements zinc and copper, magnesium, selenium, fluoride, cadmium, lead, and mercury. They will be of great value to physicians, nutritionists, and toxicologists. A particularly interesting section relates to the leaching of important trace metals by excess dietary fiber in some developing countries. These books are one of the important monograph series published by the American Nutrition Foundation.
The Last Act
Former Broadway star Tommy Jump isn't getting the roles he once did; as his final run as Sancho Panza draws to a close, Tommy is getting ready to give up the stage, find a steady paycheck, and settle down with his fiancée. Cue Special Agent Danny Ruiz. An old school friend of Tommy's, now with the FBI, Ruiz makes Tommy an offer that sounds too good to refuse. All Tommy has to do is spend six months in prison, acting as failed bank robber 'Pete Goodrich'. Inside, he must find and befriend Mitchell Dupree, who has hidden a secret cache of documents incriminating enough to take down New Colima, one of Mexico's largest drug cartels. If Tommy can get Dupree to reveal where the documents are hidden, the FBI will give him $300,000. More than enough to jumpstart a new life. But does he have what it takes to pull off this one final role?
