Chemical Ecology.</FONT></STRONG> Charles D. Amsler. Due December 2007. ISBN:
978-3-540-74180-0. 314 pp., 26 illustrations. Hardcover. $199.00<BR>This is the
first ever book devoted to the chemical ecology of algae. It covers both marine
and freshwater habitats and all types of algae, from seaweeds to phytoplankton.
While the book emphasizes the ecological rather than chemical aspects of the
field, it does include a unique introductory chapter that serves as a primer on
algal natural products chemistry. The book elucidates the roles of chemical
defenses in various regions and habitats, DMSP, oxidative burst responses, and
herbivore offense. Topics such as algal sensory chemical ecology and defenses
against ultraviolet radiation are also treated.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT size=4>NOW

Reimer. 1966. 1422317803. 688 pp. Hardcover. $140.00<BR>This systematic
treatment of the diatoms of the U.S. is written for the use of all those
concerned with the multitude of kinds & the fascinating diversity of this
very large & important group of algae of our fresh waters. This vol.
represents the first part of a two part systematic treatment of the fresh-water
diatom flora of continental U.S. exclusive of Alaska. Besides those taxa found
in fresh water, a few taxa found in estuaries of rivers & belonging to
genera that commonly occur in fresh water are included. No strictly fossil
species are included; however, many of the species embrced are found in recent
fossil material. Although this book is concerned with the U.S., it should be
helpful to the students of diatom floras in Mexico, Canada, & other
areas.<BR></FONT><FONT size=2><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000 size=3>Diatoms of

$70.00<BR>Diatoms, in addition to being important components of aquatic
ecosystems, are valuable ecological indicators. In lakes, diatoms accrue in
sediments over time, providing a lasting record of response to changing
environmental conditions. Data from analysis of this record can be used to
address a variety of environmental issues, including lake acidification,
eutrophication & climate change. Successful use of diatoms to assess
ecological conditions requires that taxa be identified correctly & that
their ecological characteristics be known. This pub. aims to provide information
to help meet both objectives. It contains photomicrographs & ecological data
for diatom taxa found in sediment samples collected from 116 lakes in the
Adirondack Park, northern N.Y. Because many of these diatom taxa are relatively
widespread, however, the taxonomic & ecological information is applicable to
low-alkalinity lakes throughout the NE U.S. & SE Canada. This pub. documents
the taxonomy used by diatomists in the PIRLA project (Paleoecological
Investigation of Recent Lake Acidification), & also provides taxonomic
guidance & ecological data for future studies of low-alkalinity lakes. 37

algal blooms are one of the consequences of the human impact on aquatic
ecosystems, particularly the process of eutrophication. They can cause a variety
of deleterious effects, including the poisoning of fish and shellfish, habitat
disruptions for many organisms, water discolouration, beach fouling, and even
toxic effects for humans. This volume is a comprehensive synthesis of the latest
research achievements concerning harmful algae (HA) ecology. International
experts provide an in-depth analysis of HA topics including: global
distribution, ecology of major HA groups, ecology and physiology of HA, HA and
the food web, studying and mitigating HA, the human impact on HA and HA impact
on human activity.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000 size=3>Algae and

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 size=4>UPDATE:<BR>(NOW DUE TO BE
