October 2007. ISBN: 978-1-4020-6111-0. Approx. 450 pp. Hardcover.
$349.00<BR>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.<BR>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.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#008000 size=3>Algae of Australia:
The Marine Benthic Algae of Lord Howe Island and the Southern Great Barrier
Reef. 1: Green Algae. Algae of Australia Series.</FONT></STRONG> Gerald T Kraft.
Due September 2007. ISBN: 9780643094321. 356 pp. Hardcover. $135.00<BR>Lord Howe
Island, an oceanic outcrop of volcanic origin situated between Australia and New
Zealand, is fringed by the world's southernmost consolidated coral reef. The
Capricorn Group of the southern Great Barrier Reef is a series of patch reefs
and low coral cays. For more than 30 years Dr Kraft, along with his students and
colleagues, has studied the species-rich marine algal communities of these
reefs, paying special attention to subtidal habitats. This authoritative
account, documenting the green algae of Lord Howe Island and the southern Great
Barrier Reef, will, in due course, be followed by treatments of the brown and
red algae.<BR>This volume includes 7 orders, 18 families, 41 genera and 135
species and infraspecific taxa of benthic green algae. Richly illustrated with
photographs, many of them in colour, the volume includes an introduction to the
islands, identification keys to genera and species and a comprehensive
description and discussion of each taxon. The genus Botryodesmis (Udoteaceae) is
newly described, as are species of Boergesenia, Botryodesmis, Bryopsis,
Chaetomorpha, Cladophora, Cladophoropsis, Codium, Halimeda, Pseudochlorodesmis,
Ulva and Ulvella.<BR><BR><FONT color=#008000 size=3><STRONG>Monitoring of
Harmful Algae Blooms.</STRONG></FONT> L. Pettersson. Now Due October 2007. ISBN:
978-3-540-22892-9. Approx. 300 pp. Hardcover. $129.00<BR>Sometimes known as "Red
Tides", harmful algae blooms are made up of a wide variety of phytoplankton
species at large in the World’s oceans. However, they produce toxins which can
harm marine life, and in certain circumstances, these harmful algae blooms can
even cause illness or death in humans. Shellfish filter-feed on phytoplankton
and concentrate their toxins in their bodies – and people who eat them can
contract life-threatening food poisoning. A number of countries have monitoring
programs to measure the presence of toxins in algae blooms. This crucial and
timely work concentrates on the research techniques that are used to monitor
visible algae blooms and through remote sensing, including infrared techniques,
predict them through mathematical modeling. Drawing on current and future
satellite data, the book presents visible perspectives on a more efficient HAB
monitoring system for the future. It also emphasizes practical applications,
impacting on marine ecology, national economy, health, food and safety and
quality assurance.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#008000 size=3>Encyclopedia of
Tidepools and Rocky Shores.</FONT></STRONG> Mark W. Denny. Due Spetember 2007.
ISBN: 978-0-520-25118-2. 735 pp., 512 color illustrations, 202 line
illustrations, 22 tables. Hardcover. $95.00<BR>Tidepools and rocky shores are
among the most physically stressful environments on earth. When the tide is
high, waves can sweep over plants and animals at velocities as high as 60 miles
per hour, while at low tide, the same organisms dry up and bake in the sun. Yet
despite this seeming inhospitality, tidepools and rocky shores are exceptionally
complex and biologically diverse. This comprehensive encyclopedia is an
authoritative, one-stop reference for everyone interested in the biology and
ecology of this fascinating and uniquely accessible environment. Conveniently
arranged alphabetically, nearly 200 wide-ranging entries written in clear
language by scientists from around the world provide a state-of-the-art picture
of tidepools and rocky shore science. From Abalones, Barnacles, and Climate
Change through Seagrasses, Tides, and Wind, the articles discuss the animals and
plants that live in tidepools, the physics and chemistry of the rocky shore
environment, the ecological principles that govern tidepools, and many other
interdisciplinary topics.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#008000 size=3>Stream
Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters.</FONT></STRONG> 2nd ed. J.
David Allan. Due August 2007. ISBN: 978-1-4020-5582-9. 436 pp. Softcover.
$89.95<BR>Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed
to serve as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as
a reference source for specialists in stream ecology and related fields. The
Second Edition is thoroughly updated and expanded to incorporate significant
advances in our understanding of environmental factors, biological interactions,
and ecosystem processes, and how these vary with hydrological, geomorphological,
and landscape setting.<BR>The broad diversity of running waters – from
torrential mountain brooks, to large, lowland rivers, to great river systems
whose basins occupy sub-continents – makes river ecosystems appear overwhelming
complex. A central theme of this book is that although the settings are often
unique, the processes at work in running waters are general and increasingly
well understood.<BR>Even as our scientific understanding of stream ecosystems
rapidly advances, the pressures arising from diverse human activities continue
to threaten the health of rivers worldwide. This book presents vital new
findings concerning human impacts, and the advances in pollution control, flow
management, restoration, and conservation planning that point to practical
solutions.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#008000 size=3>The Middle Paraná River:
Limnology of a Subtropical Wetland.</FONT></STRONG> M.H. Iriondo. 2007. ISBN:
978-3-540-70623-6. 382 pp., 128 illustrations. Hardcover. $199.00<BR>This is an
important and fascinating glimpse into one of the world’s most undisturbed
ecosystems. The Middle Paraná river in South America is one of the largest in
the world, and is incredibly rich in both fauna and flora. This book, with well
over a hundred illustrations, covers the lot. All the key aspects of the Middle
Paraná’s fluvial limnology and ecology are fully explored. What you’ll find here
is the knowledge base that has been accrued over forty years of dedicated
research by scientists at the Instituto Nacional de Limnología in Argentina.
This internationally renowned institution is almost exclusively devoted to the
exploration of the Middle Paraná, the most important 600-km-long reach of the
river. This brilliant book covers all the key aspects of the Paraná’s fluvial
limnology and ecology, arranged in discrete and easily navigable sections.
First, the physical and chemical environment is explained, then the river’s
plant life, followed by its invertebrate life, and finally the vertebrates that
inhabit the river.<BR><FONT face=Arial><STRONG></STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
