Review
"...this greatly expanded version will become a valuable text and resource book for graduate and undergraduate students and professionals, just as its predecessor was....Highly recommended for libraries with an aquatic component in their college's curriculum, and definitely worth the price in replacing the earlier version."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for Algae students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seaweed Ecology and Physiology (Paperback)
I purchased this book because I was frustrated with the textbook in my alge class. I found this book to be both helpful and informative. It is not a difficult read and the authors didn't use a lot of technical words just to prove they knew them. Tons of great information.
