Written and assembled by an international team of specialists, this book incorporates all the latest information on the green seaweeds of Britain and Ireland (families Trebouxiophyceae and Ulvophyceae), revealing a wealth of diversity. It is fully illustrated with colour photographs and is intended to enable ready identification of all the green seaweeds known from this area (about 100 species).
It includes user-friendly keys, diagnostic descriptions, ecological information, and notes for the taxonomic specialist.

Early Detection of Cyanobacterial Toxins Using Genetic Methods. J. Paul Rasmussen, Paul T. Monis, Christopher P. Saint. 2008. ISBN: 1583215832. 131 pp. Softcover. $325.00
This project examined the use of DNA-detection technology, in particular, real-time PCR, as a means of detecting toxic cyanobacteria in freshwaters.  Toxic cyanobacteria present a real and persistent problem to the water industry primarily due to the adverse health effects associated with consumption or exposure to water contaminated with cyanotoxins. Research and development within this project were geared toward the delivery of a technology solution for the water industry that would complement current approaches. There are two basic measures used for toxic cyanobacteria: cell counts (by microscopy) and toxicity (using an in vivo system or advanced analytical chemistry, both of which have limitations. DNA-detection technology was anticipated to be able to cover some of these limitations.
