Märksõnad:
Covering 1700 species of freshwater algae, this guide provides non-technical descriptions supported by line drawings or photographs. Identification guides help to determine the taxonomic status to the level of genus, and a companion CD-ROM contains about 500 color photographs showing algae and their habitat. The text includes notes on ecology, world distribution, and identification difficulties. The authors are biologists with British universities and The Natural History Museum in London. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This Flora provides the first modern account and identification guide to more than 2200 species of freshwater algae found in the British Isles (excluding diatoms), the majority of which also have a world-wide distribution. Non-technical descriptions are supported by clear line illustrations or photographs and user-friendly keys enable the accurate identification of specimens to the level of genus or species. The accompanying CD-ROM photo catalog of more than 1000 spectacular color images of freshwater algae and their habitats provides a valuable additional reference source and identification tool.

This user-friendly Flora forms the first modern account of the freshwater algae of the British Isles (excluding diatoms).
