Anything “green” is high in topicality at present and acid deposition by rain is one of the most crucial environmental issues facing the world today. The British Library in association with Technical Communications of 100 High Avenue, Letchworth, Herts SG6 3RR and the Acid Rain Information Centre at Manchester Polytechnic has issued a book which presents 18 papers from eminent European academic scientists currently engaged in studying this field and presents new data reviewing the causes and effects of acid deposition. Acid Deposition — Sources, Effects and Controls, J.W.S. Longhurst (Ed.), British Library, and Technical Communications, ISBN 0‐7123‐0765‐6, £45, should be ordered from Technical Communications not the British Library. Future titles planned in the same series are: Climatic Change/ Global Warming and literature guides on the Channel Tunnel, Greenbelt and the transport of hazardous waste and a second volume on acid deposition.
