this looks and feels like a college class book. loaded with solid raw information. this book starts you from the beginning with some early culturing techniques and moves right on. its loaded with recipies and reffrences for more research. not too many pictures but what pictures there are, they're in color. a very good book for the money.
This is a well written, comprehensive, authoritative reference on Algae culture. It is a structured compilation of landmark works by the major researchers in phycology -- globally and historically -- with excellent bibliographical data throughout. A valuable volume, well worth the cost.A. Maxwell Much, Ph.D.
