Review:
"Lee's book is a salutary attempt to review selected recent literature couching this information in general, background knowledge available from classical texts...Lee injects humor into his book particularly in his defense of the blue algae. His style is easy to read, terms are in bold face followed by various synonyms and his book closes with a very helpful glossary...Overall, this book is a welcome addition to the field of phycology and a very readable review of many aspects of this diverse discipline." Bulletin of Marine Science "All in all, Phycology is an outstanding introductory text which is enhanced by occasional anecdotal information, such as finding fossil coccoliths in classroom chalk...I, for one, expect this book to find its way onto most all phycologists' desks and into many of their classrooms." BioScience "Lee provides an excellent introduction to general phycology." Choice ."..certain books...need to be used, dipped into for specific tasks to see if they are up to the job....This second edition of Robert Lee's Phycology is just such a book and I'm pleased to say that it is up to the job!....I can thoroughly recommend this book." Robert Edyvean, New Phytologist
