“Algae and Environmental Sustainability”

“Algae and Environmental Sustainability” is a compilation of 14 chapters contributed by different authors and collected by Singh and Bauddh (Central University of Jharkhand, India) and Bux (Durban University of Technology, South Africa). It is the seventh book in the Developments in Applied Phycology series from Springer. The chapters can stand alone, and together they cover most points of intersection between algae and the environment. Several chapters focus on some aspect of using algae to treat contaminated streams (for example biosorption and phycoremediation) and one deals with remote sensing of harmful algal blooms, but most of the chapters touch on sustainability in some way.
