A richly illustrated exploration of the world’s seaweeds and algae

The Lives of Seaweeds presents an inside look at the remarkable world of seaweeds and other algae. Coming in all colors, shapes, and sizes, from unicellular and bioluminescent algae to giant kelps, seaweeds and algae are omnipresent, forming the basis of most marine food webs. They are also the most numerous photosynthetic organisms on Earth and provide seventy percent of the planet’s oxygen. Touted as the biofuel of the future, they are a cheap and nutritious food source, exhibit antiviral and antitumor properties, and play a central role in biogeochemical cycles that maintain the health of our planet.

Featuring hundreds of beautiful images, this book takes a deep dive to explore the unique traits and characteristics of seaweeds and other algae. A wealth of graphics, photos, and accessible text outlines their evolution, morphology, life histories, ecology, and uses. Offering rare insights into the algal world, The Lives of Seaweeds is essential reading for naturalists and marine life enthusiasts.

Arvustused

"[ An] excellent book. . . . If you have been indifferent to seaweeds and other algae before reading this book, I guarantee you that you will henceforth see them in a totally different light. You will learn, you will appreciate, you will marvel, and you will yearn to know more."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "Dip into this book and the chances are that youll start noticing and appreciating underwater plant life in an entirely new way."---Steve Weinman, Divernet "A highly informative, profusely illustrated book."---Anthony Payne, Glasgow Naturalist Society "A celebration of these underappreciated organisms."---Gabor Lovei, Conservation Biology "Visually, The Lives of Seaweeds is simply stunning. . . . The content is also spectacular."---Gareth Dowle, Marine Biological Association "A very well produced and well structured overview of what algae, especially seaweeds, are, how they live, what they are like and how important they are."---Martin Wilkinson, Ocean Challenge "With its detailed analysis and clear writing, this book is well suited for scholars and students who are interested in marine ecosystems, biological diversity, and marine conservation. As a popular science book, it will be useful for readers as an encyclopedia of algae. Readers who are not familiar with the natural history of algae can appreciate the extraordinary evolution and vitality of algae."---Weilan Ge, H-Net Reviews
