Description and Table of Contents

Description

An international team of authorities has contributed to this volume on the general biology of this group of flagellated protists. Comprehensive in coverage, the book includes subjects of special interest and many topics which have either never, or not recently, been reviewed. Although the emphasis is on living forms there is an extensive review of the main features of the fossil record, linked by a chapter on cyst formation. The book should undoubtedly become the definitive reference source on this fascinating group of algae.
