Yablokov A.V., Ostroumov S.A. Conservation of Living Nature and Resources: Problems, Trends, Prospects. Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Budapest. Springer. 1991. XII. 272 p., tab. Bibliogr.: p. 227-248. Index of Authors: p. 249-251. Subject Index: p. 253-271. ISBN 3-540-52096-1; 0-387-52096-1. Book (Hardcover ).
The deterioration of the environment has become one of the most serious problems of the 20th - 21st centuries. We are faced with increasing global problems - hunger and desertification, depletion of natural resources and deficiency of energy, pollution and man-triggered changes of climate. Presenting many new facts and examples from environmental studies in East and West, part I analyzes the problems of conservation at all main levels of life: the molecular-genetic, the ontogenetic, the species-population, and the ecosystem level. After an appraisal of present conditions, the authors show which changes in the different sectors of society (including agriculture, industry, recreation, etc.) are necessary to solve our environmental problems.

This book examines the problems arising from the deterioration of the environment and covers the issues of conservation and biodiversity protection at the molecular-genetic, the ontogenetic, the species-population and the ecosystem levels. The book offers suggestions concerning changes in practice in agriculture, industry, recreation etc. – in all sectors of society life and functioning. The deterioration of the environment has become one of the most serious problems of the twentieth century.
The 12 chapters in this book:
(1) the dangerous extent of human impact on the biosphere; (2) molecular genetic level; (3) problems at the ontogenetic level; (4) problems at the species-population level; (5) problems at the ecosystem level; (6) economic problems; (7) organizational and legal problems of the protection of living nature; (8) problems of prognostication; (9) protection of living nature and its connection with other global problems; (10) need for ecologization of society's activities; (11) ways of preserving living nature; and (12) scientific foundations and theory of living nature protection within the system of biological science.
The book analyses of the problems of conservation, and suggest ways of solving them.

article: Biological filters are an important part of the biosphere // Science in Russia. 2009. No. 2, p. 30-36.
This paper reviews the multi-year research of aquatic organisms: the organisms which are filter-feeders. The research was done by Dr. Sergei A. Ostroumov in U.K., Russia, Ukraine, Moldova. New facts on the substancial role of the filter-feeders in improving water quality. New aspects of environmental hazards from chemical pollution, especially by surfactants and detergents.

A note about the book: This book was a success. In a changed form it was translated into Spanish, Bulgarian, Czech. The Czech edition was recommended in Prague as a textbook for universities. The book contains an absolutely innovative organization of amorphous data on anthropogenic effects into a really well-organized and scientifically strict system. The second part of the book contains fundamental ideas on how to achieve a more sustainable use of natural resources. The book is available on Internet as a second-hand book, at a reduced cost. Moreover, I got a message from Springer that they published a second edition. The second edition is soft-cover and probably not expensive.
