John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., Chichester, Great Britain (ISBN 0-471-07844-1). Price £ 33.50. Although this is not a carcinological book, it might be of interest to part of our readership, since it provides a broad survcy of the field of marine botany, and is, therefore, a suitable reference book for all kinds of marine ecologists and systematists. It is the first major text/reference in the field since 1966, and brings together important developments in our understanding of marine plant taxonomy, morphology, cytology, physiology, and biochemistry, in the unify- ing context of marine ecology. Both "higher" plants and the algae (Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, Chrysophyta, Cryp- tophyta, Euglenophyta, Pyrrhophyta), as well as the Lichens, Fungi, and marine Bacteria arc treated. Of most groups the macrosystematics are dis- cussed. The text of several paragraphs may be short, but reference is made to many recent research papers (as recent as 1981!), and in most cases it is easy to find entrances to the world's literature for further study. A special feature of this book is the unique coverage of research methods. Of course, one cannot expect in a general book of this type, that all aspects are treated equally well. Personally, I found for instance thc paragraphs on Com- munity Measurements (transects, quadrats) quite superficial in the light of the various kinds of computer programs known nowadays to deal with this part of ecology.
