1.
Vernadsky, Vladimir I. The biosphere. Springer Science & Business Media, 2012.
Long unknown in the West, The Biosphere established the field of biogeochemistry and is
one of the classic founding documents of what later became known as Gaia theory. It is the
first sustained expression of the idea that life is a geological force that can change Earth's surface.

Odum, Eugene Pleasants, and Gary W. Barrett. Fundamentals of ecology. Vol. 3. Philadelphia: Saunders, 1971.
Fundamentals of ecology
This is the fifth edition of this classic and influential basic ecology textbook.
Keeping the holistic approach of earlier editions, increased emphasis is put on the
hierarchical organization of ecology from the cellular level to the eco-sphere.

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. http://www.cababstractsplus.org/abstracts/Abstract.aspx?AcNo=19921964581

Ostroumov S.A. Biological Effects of Surfactants. CRC Press. Taylor & Francis. Boca Raton, London, New York. 2006. 279 p., Bibliogr. on pages 203-243 and 250-253. Subject Index: p.255-279.
Understanding the role of aquatic biota and the impact of pollution and chemical substances
that enter aquatic ecosystems is crucial to the assessment, prevention, and remediation of
damaged environments. Biological Effects of Surfactants present a lot of new experimental data of the author and synthesizes the most important facts both from his experiments and world-wide scientific literature.
Lot of new facts and conceptually new ideas on protection of environment, water quality improvement, non-animal testing of toxicity, ecotoxicology.
Biological Effects of Surfactants synthesizes the most important findings from hundreds of articles and the author's current experiments on the biological effects of synthetic surfactants and detergents on individual organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems.
