$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>Methods in Stream
Ecology, 2nd Edition.</FONT></STRONG> Richard Hauer and Gary Lamberti. Due late
June 2007. ISBN: 9780123329080. 896 pp. Hardcover. $49.95<BR>Methods in Stream
Ecology provies a complete series of field and laboratory protocols in stream
ecology that are ideal for teaching or conducting research. This new edition is
updated to reflect recent advances in the technology associated with ecological
assessment of streams, including remote sensing. In addition, the relationship
between stream flow and alluviation has been added, and a new chapter on
riparian zones is also included. With a student-friendly price, this Second
Edition is key for all students and researchers in stream and freshwater
ecology, freshwater biology, marine ecology, and river ecology. This text is
also supportive as a supplementary text for courses in watershed
ecology/science, hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, and landscape
ecology.<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
