"[An] excellent book. . . . If you have been indifferent to seaweeds and other algae before reading this book, I guarantee you that you will henceforth see them in a totally different light. You will learn, you will appreciate, you will marvel, and you will yearn to know more."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "Dip into this book and the chances are that you’ll start noticing and appreciating underwater plant life in an entirely new way."---Steve Weinman, Divernet "A highly informative, profusely illustrated book."---Anthony Payne, Glasgow Naturalist Society "A celebration of these underappreciated organisms."---Gabor Lovei, Conservation Biology "Visually, The Lives of Seaweeds is simply stunning. . . . The content is also spectacular."---Gareth Dowle, Marine Biological Association "A very well produced and well structured overview of what algae, especially seaweeds, are, how they live, what they are like and how important they are."---Martin Wilkinson, Ocean Challenge "With its detailed analysis and clear writing, this book is well suited for scholars and students who are interested in marine ecosystems, biological diversity, and marine conservation. As a popular science book, it will be useful for readers as an encyclopedia of algae.
