An accessible, compact guide to phycology for students and teachers
This edition of An Introduction to the Study of Algae offers a concise, lecture‑based introduction to the field. It concentrates on the major algae groups and the outlines of phycology that can be covered in a 22–24 week course, with some topics reserved for broader study. The author emphasizes a classroom‑friendly approach, using illustration as a primary teaching tool and selecting essential types to aid understanding without overwhelming beginners.
Ideal for first‑ and second‑year students, this volume frames ecology, physiology, symbiosis, and fossil context alongside the living diversity of algae. It provides focused chapters on the major divisions and a curated bibliography tailored to those studying the course material, with room for expanding into related topics as needed.
- Clear coverage of the main algal groups and the progression of their development
- Abundant illustrations to support learning and retention
- Chapters on ecology, physiology, reproduction, and evolution for a broad view
- A selective, practical bibliography for course use
Ideal for readers beginning a study in phycology or educators seeking a compact teaching resource.
