The books became landmarks in development of science of ecology and environment.
Some comments about these books are as following.
In 1986, the book 'Introduction to Biochemical Ecology' [1] was published by Moscow University Press in Moscow , Russian Federation . Later, the same author published a second book [2] (with a co-author), and some papers on the same topic (e.g., [5]). In these publications he laid the conceptual foundations of new scientific disciplines — biochemical ecology and biochemical hydrobiology, and formulated some trends in interdisciplinary research in ecology. According to the author of those publications, these trends in research include the studies of the role of chemical substances in interorganismal interactions, in communication and regulation of supraorganismal systems. Another part of biochemical ecology deals with the studies of the fate and transformation of external chemical substances when they interact with the organisms. Both natural and man-made compounds are interesting for biochemical ecology. The basic concepts of biochemical ecology include ecological chemomediators and ecological chemoregulators. They were suggested by Dr. S.A. Ostroumov (Moscow State University ) and since then, they have already been included in the body of modern concepts and are used in modern ecological literature. Application of biochemical ecology to aquatic ecosystems creates the basis for development of biochemical hydrobiology.

Ecological functions of secondary metabolites of bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. There are no other books on biochemical ecology in the international literature that analyzes so broad diversity of data on metabolites of various taxa.

This book was used in university education and in environmental education in general.
The book ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’ (1986) was translated into Polish language [3], and also into Bulgarian language [4]. In the book, the new concepts and terms ‘ecological chemomediators’ and ‘ecological chemoregulators’ were proposed and illustrated. Those concepts help analyze the ecological role of many chemicals produced by organisms. Later, the presentation of those concepts was repeated in another book, ‘Introduction to Problems of Biochemical Ecology’ [2], which was an expanded version of the book of 1986. The innovative components in the books were useful in university education. The books provided the first generalization on ecological functions of secondary metabolites. These were the first books where a very broad data on chemical interactions among organisms were put in system. The features of the books were as following: the data covered bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, higher plants, animals; the first list of biospheric functions of natural chemicals, with their role as regulators of interactions among organisms. In the book of 1986, for the first time the useful terms were coined and suggested for further scientific analysis of issues of ecology: ecological chemomediators and ecological chemoregulators [1]; also, the broad data on transformation of chemicals (xenobiotics, pollutants) in organisms were put into a clear system; the broad data on chemical pollutants were also put into a clear system. The list of universities and courses where these books are being used is given below.

In 1985, the book ‘Levels of Conservation of Living Nature’ [6] was published. This book provided a unique system that organized a broad range of facts and ideas on nature conservation. The book became a substantial contribution to scientific basis of nature conservation. The book is well cited in international literature including excellent citation in many dissertations. The book is used in university education. It is included into educational programs of many universities and the lists of literature that is recommended to students. The same authors published on nature conservation and biodiversity protection in other languages [7-10].
In 1991, the book ‘Conservation of Living Nature and Resources’ [7] was published. This book was the continuation of the work of the same authors on scientific basis of nature conservation and biodiversity protection. The books [6-10] used an innovative productive approach to analyze issues of biodiversity protection and environmental conservation. This approach used the concept of levels of life systems. Using this approach helped in putting many facts and ideas into a scientific system. The book was favorably commented in published reviews and acquired by the universities libraries and national libraries in many countries of Europe, America , Asia, Australia and Africa, including the U.S.A. , U.K. , France , Germany , South Africa and many others [11].
