Plankton: A Critical Creation
A new book by ASPAB member Gustaaf Hallegraeff.
Professor Gustaaf Hallegraeff’s book presents over 100 spectacular electron micrographs of the captivating calcareous coccolithophorids, delightful whirling dinoflagellates and delectable diatoms living in glass houses. This book tells the stories of these much underrated unicellular ocean plants. They produced much of the oxygen we breathe today, the oil reserves that we use to drive our cars, are the basis of all marine foodwebs and drive our planet’s global climate. It is perilous for our own survival to ignore this critical creation!
