Süßwasserflora von Mitteleuropa, Band 6. Dinophyceae (Dinoflagellida). Jirí Popovský & L. Pfiester. 1990, Reprinted 2008. ISBN: 978-3-8274-2098-5. 272 pp. Softcover. $109.00 This volume is a compilation of Dinophyceae which are of interest to phycologists and protozoologists. Since it is very difficult to classify of the unicellular organisms as plants or animals two approaches can be found to the classification of dinoflagellates - the botanical and zoological. We have employed the phycological (botanical) approach in our textbook. However, we view the dinoflagellates as protists which exhibit both plant and animal features. This also holds true for the marine dinoflagellates which are richer in number of genera and species than their freshwater counterparts. Classically phycologists divided dinoflagellates into monads, rhizopods, coccals, capsals and trichals based on morphology. During our studies of freshwater dinoflagellates we have observed and recorded stages transcendent among these forms. We have also lumped many poorly described species. We have listed in the appendix all the freshwater species known. Thus we face a dilemma wether to compile dinoflagellates according to classical systematics or to use the classical approach inserting new information. We have chosen the latter.
A taxonomic guide to some common marine phytoplankton. by Rita A. Horner. 9/2002. This Guide contains photographs, descriptions and distribution records of 134 species, it includes descriptions of major taxonomic groups of phytoplankton that have harmful or potentially harmful species (diatoms, dinoflagellates, raphidophytes, prymnesiophytes and silicoflagellates), a discussion of sampling methods and sample analysis protocols, a glossary of terms pertinent to phytoplankton and references.

Sims (editor) at al. 1996. Atlas of British diatoms. This comprehensive set of illustrations of freshwater and marine diatoms provides diatomists for the first time with detailed scale drawings of some 2,000 species. This encompasses all the common species, most of which are world-wide in distribution. The illustrations are mainly the work of H.G. Barber and thus in a uniform style and magnification. Some additional plates have been provided by J.R. Carter and all have been admirably rearranged in an alphabetical order of genera and species by B. Hartley to form a user-friendly guide to the identification of this most abundant group of organisms. The only comparable work is Schmidt's Atlas which was published between 1874 and 1959 but that Atlas has the species scattered. The present Atlas clusters the species (e.g. 42 plates of Navicula) and will form a major source book with the classification having been brought up to date. The authors have an extremely detailed knowledge of diatoms (well over 100 years in total experience) with a deep understanding of the variation during the growth cycle - this is illustrated by multiple drawings of most taxa. In all there are over 7,000 illustrations, approx. 600 pages. hardcover.  Trade Cloth ISBN 0-948737-45-X.  $180.00
