Beecher, Beltsville, Human Nutrition Centre, Maryland, USA Richard C.Rose, The Pennsylvania State University, Hershey, USA. The Journal of Micronutrient Analysis covers all methods for the detection and determination of micronutrients and their metabolites at a l l stages within the food chain. The term micronutrient is used to describe all minor food components known, or suspected, to have a nutritional role in man and other vertebrates. Topics include: methods intended for animal feeds, raw foodstuffs and clinical samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) developments of methods, application to specific areas and the interpretation of the significance of results. evaluation of techniques by comparison with alternative methods. * results of collaborative trials. Results of the application of standard methods of analysis will only be published where the interpretation of the data provides a significant contribution to our knowledge of the levels of micronutrients in important fields where such knowledge i s lacking.Nutritional papersper se will not be accepted.

(ISSN: 0266-349X) SEND FOR A FREE SPECIMEN COPY Edited by R.E. Hester University of York The aim of this book is to provide a wide-ranging and authoritative coverage of topics which are fundamental to our understanding and appreciation of the nature of our environment.The six chapters are all written by authors who are acknowledged experts in their particular fields, with the intention of providing a sufficient depth of treament to satisfy the needs of serious students of the subject matter but in a style and level which will be found comprehensible and interesting by the generally concerned, involved, and educated layman. This is not primarily a book for the expert who already is well informed and engaged actively in environmental chemistry, although the broad range of its coverage undoubtedly will have some appeal for such experts. Rather it is aimed at students, at managers in industry, administrators, politicians, legislators, and other people with a concern for the quality of our environment and a need to understand the issues involved in its management.
