For phycologists and protozoologists, as well as for ecologists or managers involved with wetland systems, this elegantly prepared, beautifully illustrated book (at a surprisingly low price) represents a portion of the work from The Euglenoid Project at Michigan State University, which is supported financially by a grant from The National Science Foundation's Partnerships for Enhancing Expertise in Taxonomy (PEET). The history, taxonomy, habitat, nutrition modes, and details of the structure and function these organisms are explained, with reference to their interaction with pollutants and their various roles in the environment. High resolution color photos of each species are organized by genus, with clear identification of differentiating characteristics (size, body shape, arrangement of structures). The book measures 11x11.5". Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
