Desmids of the Lowlands:
Mesotaeniaceae and Desmidiaceae of the European Lowlands. Peter
Coesèl and Koos Meesters. 2007. ISBN: 9789050112659. 352 pp., plates with b/w
drawings, includes CD-ROM. Hardcover. $200.00
Desmids are an ecologically diverse group of green microalgae. Their cells show
a beautiful symmetry, which distinguishes them from all other algal groups. Like
many other algal species, desmids are important indicators of water quality.
Their occurrence provides information on environmental conditions such as pH,
conductivity and trophic state of a water body.
Desmids of the Lowlands – Mesotaeniaceae and Desmidiaceae of the European
Lowlands. This helpful and detailed guide aims to represent all desmid taxa
known from the Netherlands and adjacent lowland areas. Practical identification
keys and illustrations are complemented with useful information on
classification, morphology and reproduction, and ecology and distribution. The
guide covers over 500 species and more than 150 additional varieties. Since most
species are cosmopolitan, it may also be of use outside of this geographical
region. Desmids of the Lowlands includes a CD-rom, which offers general
information on desmid biology as well as a selection of species that are
discussed in more detail. Ecological data, both on separate species and desmid
communities, enable a characterisation of sampled habitats. A digital
calculation method for the assessment of desmid-related conservation value is
also included.

cytology, plus the ecology and distribution patterns, of 674 species. In
addition, they provide keys to the genera and keys to species within the genera,
a glossary of difficult terms, an explanation or derivations of the scientific
names, an impressive literature compilation including sources for further
information, and excellent line drawings for each species.
Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms:
State of the Science and Research Needs. H. Kenneth Hudnell. Due
March/April 2008. ISBN: 9780387758640. 500 pp., 80 illustrations, 17 in color.
Hardcover. $159.00
With the ever-increasing incidence of harmful cyanobacterial algal blooms, this
monograph has added urgency and will be essential reading for all sorts of
researchers. The volume contains the proceedings of the 2005 International
Symposium on Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms, and has been edited by H.
Kenneth Hudnell, of the US Environmental Protection Agency.
It contains much of the most recent research into the subject, and includes six
workgroup reports that identify and prioritize research needs, as well as 25
invited speaker papers that describe the state of the science. Freshwater
CyanoHABs can use up the oxygen and block the sunlight that other organisms need
to live. They also can produce powerful toxins that affect the brain and liver
of animals and humans. Reports of poisonings associated with CyanoHABs date back
to the late 1800s. Anecdotal evidence and data from laboratory animal research
suggest that cyanobacterial toxins can cause a range of adverse human health
effects, yet few studies have explored the links between CyanoHABs and human
health. Thankfully, and partly as a result of this symposium, all that is now
set to change.
Programmed Cell Death in Protozoa.
Martin Perez and Jose Manuel. 2008. ISBN: 9780387767161. 180 pp. Hardcover.
$139.00
Under the name of programmed cell death (PCD) are included diverse molecular
mechanisms of cell suicide which play an essential role in the development of
multicellular organisms. The best known PCD mechanism in multicellular organisms
is called apoptosis. However, recent studies indicate that PCD is also present
in protozoa and unicellular eukaryotes.
The eleven chapters of this book give the reader a comprehensive update of the
progress in the understanding of the mechanisms of PCD in protozoa. The chapters
have been written by experts in this field of research and are arranged
following an evolutionary point of view starting with PCD in protists and ending
with PCD in ciliated protozoa.
Ecology of Baltic Coastal Waters.
Ecological Studies Vol. 197. Ulrich Schiewer. 2008. ISBN: 9783540735236. 428
pp., 102 illustrations. Hardcover. $209.00
This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the enormous ecological
diversity of Baltic coastal ecosystems. A short introduction into the Baltic Sea
as a reference ecosystem is followed by detailed descriptions of the
characteristics of coastal ecosystems. Ecological case studies from the
following four regions illustrate the different reactions of these ecosystems to
natural and anthropogenic influences: Southern Baltic coast: Fjörden, Boddens,
Lagoons and nearshore zones, Eastern Baltic coast: Gulf of Gdansk, Gulf of Riga,
Northeastern Baltic coast: Neva Estuary and Gulf of Finland, Western Baltic
coast: Stockholm Archipelago, Askö area and Himmerfjärden, Odense Fjord and
Kerteminde Fjord/Kertinge Nor.
This volume also presents a synthesis of the common and distinguishing
characteristics and processes of the coastal waters compared with the Baltic
Proper, as well as highlighting research deficits. An outlook on further
developments in coastal research rounds off the volume.
Monitoring and Modelling Lakes and
Coastal Environments. Pratap K. Mohanty. 2008. ISBN:
9781402066450. 248 pp. Hardcover. $149.00
Lakes and coastal wetlands are transitional areas between dry terrestrial and
permanent aquatic ecosystems and are recognized as highly productive, playing a
vital role in the global ecosystems. Their importance has been recognized in the
maintenance of biodiversity, ecology, hydrology and recreation. However, rapid
development and population growth in coastal areas as well as environmental
degradation and over exploitation erode the biodiversity and undermine the
productivity of these unique ecosystems.
Over 200 rivers and lakes in the world are shared by two or more countries, a
testament of their international importance. Various efforts are currently
underway to develop technologies and systems for successful management of lakes
and coastal wetlands both at national and international levels. However,
conflicting interests in the use of their resources have led to further
worsening of the problems facing lakes and coastal wetlands. Therefore, an
earnest attempt has been made in this book to find ways for restoration,
conservation and management of lakes and coastal wetlands.

Algae and Cyanobacteria in
Extreme Environments. Series: Cellular Origin, Life in Extreme Habitats and
Astrobiology, Vol. 11. Joseph Seckbach. Due October
2007. ISBN: 978-1-4020-6111-0. Approx. 450 pp. Hardcover. $349.00
Algae and Cyanobacteria in Extreme Environments is a unique collection of
essays, contributed by leading scientists from around the world, devoted to
algae – and some related microbes – observed in unexpected harsh habits, which
it seems are an oasis or Garden of Eden for these organisms. This timely book on
Extremophilic alga, including its especially impressive micrographs, may provide
clues about the edges of life on Earth and possibly elsewhere in the universe.
Defining locations from the anthropomorphic point of view, the environments
explored ranges from severe and distant to "normal" places. The algae discussed,
microbial oxygenic phototrophs, are classified into various categories according
to their habitats. They thrive in various temperature ranges, at the limits of
pH values, in salt solutions, under UV radiation, dryness, heavy metals,
anaerobic niches, under various levels of illuminations, and under hydrostatic
pressure. Authors discuss bio-diversely algal territories ecologically – the hot
springs with the thermophiles or acido-thermophiles; Antarctica, the Artic, and
permafrost zones with their cold lovers (Psychrophiles); soda lakes with the
alkaliphiles, saltine areas with halophiles. In addition to general essays,
Algal species discussed in detail include diatoms, Cyanidium, Galdieria,
Dunaliella, and Chroococcidiopsis.
Algae and Human Affairs.
Edited by Carole A. Lembi and J. Robert Waaland. 1989, 2007 Paperback. ISBN:
9780521044400. 606 pp. $95.00
Algae and Human Affairs provides the only current comprehensive survey of the
major roles of algae in present and future human life. This detailed, up-to-date
synthesis is divided into four sections. The first reviews the natural roles of
algae as sources of oxygen, organic carbon compounds, and as bases of
food-chains for higher trophic levels. The second group of chapters deals with
the commercial and economic value of algae to industry, energy, waste treatment,
and agriculture (i.e. algae as an important source of food and food additives,
such as the carageenan used in dairy products). The third section discusses the
detrimental, sometimes disastrous, effects of algae in the form of red-tide
organisms, weeds, producers of freshwater toxins, and marine biofouling. The
final section considers current applications and future potential of algae to
industry, in general, and, in particular, to space exploration and genetic
engineering.
Diatoms of the United States: Exclusive

Naviculaceae. Ruth Patrick & Charles W. Reimer. 1966.
1422317803. 688 pp. Hardcover. $140.00
This systematic treatment of the diatoms of the U.S. is written for the use of
all those concerned with the multitude of kinds & the fascinating diversity of
this very large & important group of algae of our fresh waters. This vol.
represents the first part of a two part systematic treatment of the fresh-water
diatom flora of continental U.S. exclusive of Alaska. Besides those taxa found
in fresh water, a few taxa found in estuaries of rivers & belonging to genera
that commonly occur in fresh water are included. No strictly fossil species are
included; however, many of the species embrced are found in recent fossil
material. Although this book is concerned with the U.S., it should be helpful to
the students of diatom floras in Mexico, Canada, & other areas.
Diatoms of Low-Alkalinity Lakes in the
Northeastern United States. Keith E. Camburn & Donald F.
Charles. 2000. 0910006547. 152 pp. Hardcover. $70.00
Diatoms, in addition to being important components of aquatic ecosystems, are
valuable ecological indicators. In lakes, diatoms accrue in sediments over time,
providing a lasting record of response to changing environmental conditions.
Data from analysis of this record can be used to address a variety of
environmental issues, including lake acidification, eutrophication & climate
change. Successful use of diatoms to assess ecological conditions requires that
taxa be identified correctly & that their ecological characteristics be known.
This pub. aims to provide information to help meet both objectives. It contains
photomicrographs & ecological data for diatom taxa found in sediment samples
collected from 116 lakes in the Adirondack Park, northern N.Y. Because many of
these diatom taxa are relatively widespread, however, the taxonomic & ecological
information is applicable to low-alkalinity lakes throughout the NE U.S. & SE
Canada. This pub. documents the taxonomy used by diatomists in the PIRLA project
(Paleoecological Investigation of Recent Lake Acidification), & also provides
taxonomic guidance & ecological data for future studies of low-alkalinity lakes.

Asian Pacific Phycology in the 21st Century: Prospects and Challenges:
Proceedings of the Second Asian Pacific Phycological Forum, held in Hong Kong,
China, 21–25 June 1999. Developments in Hydrobiology Volume 173. Put O. Ang
Jr. Due April 2004. ISBN: 1-4020-1724-3. 296 pp. Hardcover. $104.00 approx.
People from the Asian Pacific region were among the first in the world to
utilize algae for various purposes. References to algae have been found in
Chinese classic writings dating back some 2500 years ago. It is perhaps no
surprise that the traditional focus on algae in the region has been on their
potential as a resource. The Asian Pacific is now the world's largest algal
production region. From freshwater to marine environments, from microalgae to
macroalgae (seaweeds), through natural harvest or through farming or polyculture,
in indoor tanks or outdoor ponds, algal biomass is being produced by the
millions of tons annually. Not to mention all the other associated industries,
from food manufacturing and chemical extraction to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical
and industrial product development, the entire algae related industry is
certainly one of the most vital in the region. There is a continued and
sustained interest in the expanded use of algae and the application of algae as
a tool in biotechnology. Not withstanding the focus on the economic potential of
algae, there is also a greater focus on the role of algae in the environment,
not simply as primary producers, but also as structuring forces in the
community. There is the question of algae as sources of various toxins during
algal blooms, as well as the potential of algae as scavengers of excess
nutrients under eutrophication. More and more researchers have also turned to
algae as a tool in experimental biology and as a model to understand biological
phenomena. All this diversity in interests and focuses could only be linked
together simply because they are all related to algae. Collected in this special
volume are 36 invited and contributed papers first presented at the Second Asian
Pacific Phycological Forum held at the Chinese University of Hong Kong at the
turn of the century. These papers were subsequently updated to bring to fore the
latest development in algal research in the Asian Pacific Region. This volume
thus provides one of the most comprehensive pictures of advances in algal
research in this part of the world.
Coastal Dunes: Ecology and Conservation. Series: Ecological Studies, Vol.
171. M. Martínez. Due Spring 2004. ISBN: 3-540-40829-0. 389 pp., 108
illustrations, 3 in color. Hardcover. $169.00 approx.
Coastal dunes occur in almost every latitude - from tropical to polar -
and have been substantially altered by human activities. Many are already
severely and irreversibly degraded. Although these ecosystems have been studied
for a long time (as early as 1835), there has been a strong emphasis on the
mid-latitude dune systems and a lack of attention given to the tropics where,
unfortunately, much of the modern exploitation and coastal development for
tourism is occurring. This book brings together coastal dune specialists from
tropical and temperate latitudes, which together cover a wide set of topics,
including: geomorphology, community dynamics, ecophysiology, biotic interactions
and environmental problems and conservation. A major product of this book is a
set of recommendations for future research, identifying relevant topics where
detailed knowledge is still lacking. It also identifies management tools that
will promote and maintain the rich diversity of the dune environments in the
context of continuing coastal development.
Oceanography and Marine Environment of the Basque Country. A. Borja.
Due April 2004. ISBN: 0-444-51581-X. 640 pp. Hardcover. $195.00
Against a background of extensive multi-disciplinary oceanographic
investigations over a number of years, together with the long-term establishment
of a Society and Institute, extensive information is available from studies
undertaken in the estuarine and coastal waters of the Basque Country. The
present authors gained access to unpublished literature and reports which,
together with a synthesis of internationally-refereed papers, provide a series
of scientific overviews of particular subject areas. Teams of researchers (from
Basque Institutes and Universities) combine to present the present 'state of
knowledge', within a global context, of processes ranging from sub-seabed to
air-sea interaction - incorporating data on the associated biology (including
fisheries) and pollutant sources and levels. The latter are compared with
regional, national and European legislation. The volume is divided into various
sections: Introduction; Geography and Oceanography; Chemical Oceanography and
Water Quality; Sediment Characteristics, Quality and Chemistry; Biomonitoring;
Communities and Ecology; and Overall Assessment. The topics covered include: an
historical review of marine research; the impact of human activities, during
past centuries; geology, geomorphology and sediments; climate and meteorology;
marine dynamics; hydrography; water mass characteristics; contaminants in the
waters; microbiological quality; sedimentological characteristics; contaminants
in sediments; biomonitoring of heavy metals and organic components, at tissue
organism level and using cellular and molecular biomarkers; bacterioplankton and
phytoplankton communities; zooplankton communities; benthic communities;
seabirds; biodiversity and conservation; recovery of benthic communities; the
polluted systems; and assessment of human impacts. On the basis of these
syntheses, future challenges for marine research in the Basque Country are
identified, in terms of a 'Research Agenda'. This comprehensive text, relating
to estuarine, coastal and oceanographic processes at wide-ranging spatial and
temporal scales in the southern Bay of Biscay, will be of interest to
researchers, engineers and legislators - on a regional basis and within a
world-wide perspective.

Algae: An Introduction to Phycology. Christiaan van den Hoek. 1996.
ISBN: 0521304199. 637 pp., 280 line diagrams, 26 half-tones, & 10 tables.
Hardcover. $130.00
Algae are ubiquitous; a multitude of species ranging from microscopic
unicells to gigantic kelps inhabit the world's oceans, freshwater bodies, soils,
rocks, and trees, and are responsible for most of the global production of
organic matter by photosynthesis. They thus play a fundamental role in the
world's ecosystems and a reliable and modern introduction to their kaleidoscopic
diversity, systematics, and phylogeny is indispensable. In this textbook, the
main groups of algae (divisions or phyla) are considered in turn. Each chapter
begins with a summary of the principal characteristics of the group and
interesting aspects of ecology and evolution. The final chapter is a synthesis,
in which the phylogeny of the algae is discussed in relation to the evolution of
other living organisms, primarily on the basis of evidence from recent molecular
studies. This book is the completely revised and updated edition of a highly
acclaimed German work, which was heralded for its clarity as well as its breadth
and depth of information. This new edition takes into account recent
reevaluations in algal systematics and phylogeny provided by the powerful
techniques of molecular genetics and electron microscopy, as well as more
traditional life history studies.
Chrysophyte Algae: Ecology, Phylogeny and Development. Craig D.
Sandgren. 1995. ISBN: 0521462606. 413 pp., 57 line diagrams, 94 half-tones, & 45
tables. Hardcover. $120.00
Chrysophytes are beautiful and delicate organisms living mostly in
freshwater. They are pivotal for studies of protistan evolution, studies of food
web dynamics in oligotrophic freshwater ecosystems, and for assessment of
environmental degradation resulting from eutrophication and acid rain. They also
represent excellent model cellular systems for studying processes inherent in
basic metabolism, biomineralization, endo- and exocytosis and macro-assembly of
cell surface layers. This book gives a broad overview of chrysophytes and
contains chapters by leading experts organized under the themes of phylogeny,
systematics and evolution; development, physiology, and nutrition; and ecology,
paleoecology, and reproduction. The book contains major contributions towards a
reorganization of chrysophyte systematics, plus comprehensive reviews of
chrysophyte basic metabolism, biomineralization and siliceous scale deposition,
ecology, paleoecology, and a history of chrysophyte research. Contributors
present reviews of the literature in their particular area and also present
ideas for future research.

Freshwater Algae of North America. Ecology and Classification . John D. Wehr & Robert G. Sheath. 2002. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Freshwater algae are among the most diverse and ubiquitous organisms on earth. They occupy an enormous range of ecological conditions from lakes and rivers to acidic peat swamps, inland saline lakes, snow and ice, damp soils, wetlands, desert soils, wastewater treatment plants, and are symbionts in and on many plants, fungi, and animals. In North America, the variety of freshwater habitats colonized by algae is very rich, and offers an enormous and fascinating range of environments for their study. They form the base of most aquatic food webs and are critical to studies of ecosystem health. Algal ecologists and taxonomists play an important role in the understanding of aquatic ecosystems: their biodiversity, productivity, interactions with other organisms, and water quality. This book provides in one volume a practical and comprehensive guide to the genera of freshwater algae known from North America. The format combines the necessary ecological, taxonomic and methodological information for all scientists working in aquatic environments, whether their specialty is in environmental monitoring and water quality assessment, biological composition, ecology, evolution, or molecular biology.
Key Features: The first complete accounting of North America's freshwater algal genera in more than 50 years; Includes a guide to the current literature on species identification in each group of algae; High-quality photographs and drawings of more than 770 genera; A clear, easy-to-use introductory key to the diagnostic chapters; Synthetic chapters on freshwater habitats, use of algae in environmental assessment, and control of nuisance algae; Contributions from 27 experts in all areas of freshwater algae; Extensive literature citations

Common Freshwater algae of the United States. An illustrated key to the genera (excluding diatoms). Gary E. Dillard. 11/1999.This manual has been prepared to provide freshwater biologists a means to identify some to the more commonly encountered freshwater algal genera of the United States. Keys, representative illustrations, and general ecological notes are provided for some 300 genera, excluding the diatoms. Although there are many excellent taxonomic treatments of freshwater algae, most require detailed familiarity with algal morphology in order to use the identification keys successfully. To the extent possible, formal terminology common to most taxonomic treatments has been avoided in the preparation of the keys included in this manual. An extensive bibliography provides references to more detailed taxonomic treatments for those who wish to proceed to species identification. Our concepts of the algal classes, orders and families, due to new information largely provided by electron microscopy and molecular biology, are presently in a state of change. The manual therefore does not include placement of the genera into supra-generic taxa, however, the bibliography includes references providing such information. Audience: students, professional aquatic biologists, ecologists and others interested in the phycology of the freshwaters of North America. 173 p, 298 figs, 21x16cm, spiral bound.

Forensic Diatomology and Drowning. M.S. Pollanen. 1998. The postmortem analysis of drowning is a classical problem in the pathology of sudden violent death. From a historical perspective, one of the most important issues in the study of drowning has been the search for a sensitive, specific, and easily applicable test for this cause of death. On this basis, the diatom test has emerged as the foremost laboratory procedure for the detection of drowning. Although the history of the diatom test spans a century, no comprehensive monograph has been published to address the scientific and medicolegal basis of the diatom test. This book is an attempt to fill this void in the English-language literature. The motivation and axiom for the diatom test are discussed in chapter 1 which outlines the types of circumstances bodies may be recovered from water. In chapter 2, drowning is considered in the broader context of rapid anoxial death and the postmortem findings of drowning is discussed. The medicolegal value and historical development of the diatom test are reviewed in chapter 3, which prepares the foundation for discussion of research on diatoms and drowning using femoral bone marrow (chapter 4). Chapter 4, the utility and validity of the diatom test is analyzed on a quantitative basis. Chapter 5 describes the laboratory procedures for extraction of diatoms from human tissues and presents guidelines for interpreting the diatom test in forensic casework. The various investigative applications of the diatom test are presented in chapter 6, with specific reference to the role of the diatom test in homicidal drowning. The final chapter, which forms a photomicrophic atlas of freshwater diatoms, will serve to guide forensic practitioners who are interested in performing forensic diatom analysis. The text is followed by a selected bibliography which includes references that may not have been cited in the main text.

The Ecological Bases for Lake and Reservoir Management. edited by David M. Harper, Bill Brierley, Alastair J.D. Ferguson & Geoff Phillips. 1999. DEVELOPMENTS IN HYDROBIOLOGY Volume 136. Reprinted from HYDROBIOLOGIA. The Ecological Bases for Lake and Reservoir Management provides a state-of-the-art review of the range of ecologically-based techniques necessary for the holistic management of lakes and their catchments. Most of the methods, case studies and national policies reviewed are directed towards management of the largest problem – eutrophication – with the emphasis on the multiple-scale approach needed for successful management and restoration. Case studies come from the USA and ten European countries, and range from single lakes through to lake districts and national inventories.

Nutrient Reduction and Biomanipulation as Tools to Improve Water Quality: The Lake Ringsjön Story. edited by Lars-Anders Hansson & Eva Bergman. 1999. DEVELOPMENTS IN HYDROBIOLOGY Volume 140. Reprinted from HYDROBIOLOGIA. This book tells a story of a large lake affected by agricultural and urban activities that have led to severe eutrophication problems with nuisance blue-green algal blooms. Although it is a case study of Lake Ringsjön (southern Sweden), the background, problems and measures are applicable to many lakes throughout the world. From a limnological point of view, the Lake Ringsjön story began more than 100 years ago, and during the last 20 years the sampling program has been intense, providing a unique data set on how a lake responds to human activities. However, the Lake Ringsjön story is not only a case study, but also a historical record of the development of ecological theory and its application. Hence, the lake has been subject both to an extensive nutrient reduction programme and a biomanipulation by means of fish reduction. Here we aim at combining the unique limnological data set with the eutrophication process, the nutrient reduction programme and the biomanipulation in order to apply our empirical knowledge to future lake management measures.

Cooper, V.C. 1996. Microalgae: Microscopic Marvels. In this fascinating new book, Dr Cooper exposes and discusses the life-cycles, habitats, and roles of these important but little-known organisms. She covers: How do microalgae affect the planet? Are they vital producers of oxygen and food? What species are often found in lakes, ponds, rivers, and oceans? Where do they live? How ancient are they? Which species might kill animals on land, and fish or shellfish in the sea? Can we survive without them? All these topics are dealt with in a readable book of over 160 pages, accurately referenced and illustrated in colour and black & white: mainly from the author's own wide experience in and around New Zealand. Microalgae is not a compicated taxonomic text, but rather is designed to assist students at secondary and teriary level. It contains helpful information for those responsible for managin water quality, as well as for the interested lay public. A glossary and appendices are included, along with suggested questions and activities for school science classes. The author was a practising researcher for nearly forty years with the former DSIR in New Zealand and has published some 50 scientific papers during her working life. Now retired, she is an Honorary Research Associate of Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research NZ Ltd. The book is published by Riverside Books in Hamilton. Color and B&W drawings, 164pp, softback, $50.00

Identification and description of the algal taxa of Leh. 7. Bibliography. 9. Plates. 9. Index. "In the face of the rapidly changing concepts of algal taxonomy and identification, the system of classification used herein is the most modern. It attempts to follow the plan by adopting all the available informations and different views currently in vogue about the arrangement of different phyla, classes and orders of the algal taxa known till today. A taxonomic key has also been provided with broad outlines and general characters about the hierarchial classification and definitive chosen characters about the genera and species. The key shall be of great help and use for anyone interested in the identification of algal species. "This is the first ever record of the algal flora of Ladakh--a mystic land, considered as the cold desert. This is a very informative and useful contribution to the literature since nothing has been published so far on the algae of this region. Original camera lucida diagrams from the actual field specimens and microphotographs add to the value of this book." 341 p., 129 plates (some coloured), $80

They cover the morphology and taxonomy of the Cladocera, evolution, genetic diversity and natural hybridization, population growth, mortality, and other dynamics, competition between species, predation, life histories in specific habitats, and interpretation of past conditions in lakes and their watersheds from the microfossils of Cladocera recovered from sediments. Cladocera occur either swimming in open water (zooplankton) or else associated with various types of substrate on the bottom (meiobenthos). They constitute one of the prime mechanisms for energy transfer from algae and organic detritus to larger invertebrates and fishes. This ecosystem function and their overall abundance make them one of the most important groups of animals in fresh water. Hardbound. 340 pp. $222.00

Kristiansen, J. 1996. Biogeography of Freshwater Algae. Proceedings of the Workshop on Biogeography of Freshwater Algae, held during the Fifth International Phycological Congress, Qingdao, China, July 1994. Dev. Hydrobiology. Volume 118 (Reprinted from HYDROBIOLOGIA, 336:1-3). This book is based on a workshop on biogeography of freshwater algae held during the Fifth International Phycological Congress in China 1994. A group of outstanding specialists covering widely different approaches to the subject have been brought together, and this collection of their contributions forms a unique volume: there is no other book on the subject. It thus fills an evident gap in the phycological literature, and will be of major interest to researchers and teachers within phycology, limnology, and evolutionary biology. However, it may also be useful in courses for advanced students. 176 pp. $148.50

Longhurst, AR. due June 1998. Ecological geography of the sea. This is the first attempt to divide the ocean into distinguishable regions that permit detailed comparisons. Based on patterns of algal ecology, the book divides the ocean into four primary compartments, which are then subdivided into secondary compartments. These are then identified and characterized by biogeochemical features including nutrient dynamics, continental shelf topography, and algal blooms. Because ocean-wide regional classification has broad impact on the way oceanographers and ecologists study ocean patterns, this book will have wide and long-term appeal. contents: Ecological gradients: fronts and the pycnocline; physical fording of biological processes. Biomes: primary compartments in ecological oceanography. Cceans, seas and provinces: the secondary compartments; temporal variabiloty and the adjustment of boundaries; Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, The Southern Ocean. subject index. ca. 385 pp., B&W and color illustrations. hardcover. $74.95 (tentative!).
