SynopsisThis exquisitely illustrated book is the definitive guide to the identification of protozoa. As well as over 230 high-quality colour photographs, it contains 500 detailed line drawings, showing essential features and making speedy and positive identification possible. The succinct and authoritative text is supported by extensive references. Communities of protozoa are dealt with in a separate section, which covers a range of environments and contains information on the significance of these communities as indicators of contamination and pollution. As well as being an essential teaching aid, Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa is a valuable guide for professional biologists involved with water, sewage treatment, rivers, soils and environmental management. it is also an important reference source for food science laboratories and public health and regulatory bodies. Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa includes: Collection, examination and recording of protozoaClassificationIdentification -- using the highly illustrated key with supporting text and referencesProtozoan communities -- covering a range of man-made and natural environmentsGlossary of termsExtensive bibliography and reference listsFrom the Reviews: '... The photomicrographs are generally of excellent quality, and these, with the equally excellent line drawings and complete descriptions, make for a very easy-to-use key. This is about the best reference one could have, short of an actual, living specimen ... This is not a specialist book and can be easily used by amateurs; but it should also prove a valuable guide to professional biologists involved with water, sewage works, rivers, soils, environmental management, food science, and public health; it would, in addition, serve as a dandy teaching aid for classroom use, as well as for self-study.' -- The Microscope
