"Overall, this volume succeeds well in its aim to examine a range of materials and discuss the ways in which they are likely to be damaged by air pollutants. There is a wealth of useful information, and the wide scope means that it is of broad interest ... the book is amazingly good value for a hardback specialized volume." Environmental Conservation
