I chose the book of K. Fredrick for the analysis of heavy metals in soils and their influence on the envrionment. The book titled ‘Assessing the impacts of Climate Change on Natural Resource Systems’ was published by Springer Science & Business Media in 2012. The author from the biology department of University was K. Fredrick. This book is an academic piece because it is written by expert in the field (he represents University), it includes in text citations and a bibliography. This suggests that the book is peer-reviewed as it went through a revision process. The book lists a materials and methods section and a results section detailing the research that was conducted. This book is therefore a research piece. As a result, this book constitutes an academic, peer-reviewed material. It helped me a lot to understand different categories of heavy metals and their management in soil. Moreover, I got acquainted with such terms as pollutants and heavy metals in detail.
