xiv, 623 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. Algae are ubiquitous. A multitude of species, ranging from microscopic unicells to gigantic kelps, inhabit the world's oceans, freshwaters, soils, rocks and trees. To understand the basic role of algae in the global ecosystem, a reliable and modern introduction to their kaleidoscopic diversity, systematics and phylogeny is indispensable. This volume provides such an introduction. 1. Introduction -- 2. Cyanophyta (= Cyanobacteria) -- 3. Prochlorophyta -- 4. Glaucophyta -- 5. Rhodophyta (red algae) -- 6.
