$99.50<BR>Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the
evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second
edition, thoroughly revised to bring it up to date, describes how one of the
most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the surface
chemistry of the Earth. The book focuses on recent biochemical and biophysical
advances and the molecular biological techniques that have made them
possible.<BR>In ten chapters that are self-contained but that build upon
information presented earlier, the book starts with a reductionist, biophysical
description of the photosynthetic reactions. It then moves through biochemical
and molecular biological patterns in aquatic photoautotrophs, physiological and
ecological principles, and global biogeochemical cycles. The book considers
applications to ecology, and refers to historical
developments.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#800080 size=3>Common freshwater
diatoms of Britain and Ireland: An interactive identification
key.</FONT></STRONG> Martyn Kelly & Richard Telford. April/May 2007. ISBN:
978-1-84432-705-8. CD-ROM. $199.00 (with overseas airfreight included in
price)<BR>This key covers those diatom taxa (>300) most likely to be
encountered by Environment Agency staff and others involved in routine
monitoring. It also incorporates the functionality to expand the database to
cover some of the other ~2,500 species of freshwater diatoms recorded from
Britain and Ireland, and to take account of any future changes in diatom
taxonomy.<BR>This is an interactive multi access key/tool for the identification
of diatoms of Britain and Ireland. Diatoms are a group of algae, used for
monitoring water quality and ecological status of rivers and lakes. Diatoms are
one of the biological monitoring elements used in the Environment Agency (and
SEPA, EHS) from 2006, as required by the Water Framework Directive for
ecological monitoring and classification purposes. This key is integral to
implementing the diatom methods, used in diatom identification training
programmes<BR>leading to accredited analysts, for robust reporting of diatom
data. The CD-ROM is based on the Lucid software, developed by the<BR>University
of Queensland in Australia. The key itself is multi-access, rather than
dichotomous. An important benefit of this approach is that the set of attributes
can be much broader than is the case for a traditional key. For diatoms, it is
possible to include information on the characteristics of "live" diatoms
alongside attributes seen only in "cleaned" material, allowing the key to work
in a wider range of situations than was the case in previous
keys.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#800080 size=3>If you would like to place an
