Description:

First edition. This book presents a wide-ranging introduction to the diatoms together with an illustrated description of over 250 genera. The generic atlas section is the first account of diatom systematics since 1928 (Karsten in Engler and Prantl: Die Nauturlichen Pflanzenfamilien) and each generic description is accompanied by scanning electron micrographs to show the characteristic structure. This will be the standard reference work on the group for years to come and is an essential reference volume.
