Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A photomicrographic atlas of these small organisms which will be familiar to anybody with a microscope who studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of pond water, or in wet moss. (Few would imagine that a book like this might enable identification…) "a useful guide to a limited range of taxa and has beautiful SEM images" (Charman, D.J., Hendon, D., Woodland, W.A.) |
