Risa, I have used both in my Ecotoxicology (graduate / upper-level undergraduate) course at Eastern Illinois University. Newman's book is by far the best. My students also agree. Mike Newman has authored many ecotoxicology books before creating this text for the classroom. So in essence, this text is a compilation of all those other books. Walker et al. is also complete, but I think Newman's is better for a course text. So there is my opinion for what it is worth. Best regards, -Karen
