Reviews

From the reviews:

"This is now the definitive, authoritative text on applied foraminiferal micropaleontology and should be in the library of all practicing micropaleontologists."
(William A. Berggren, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Micropaleontology, 47:1 (2001)

"During the last 20 years there has been an explosion of publications about foraminifera from an amazing variety of disciplines: basic cell biology, algal symbiosis, biomineralization, biogeography, ecology, pollution, chemical oceanography, geochemistry, paleoceanography, and geology. This book summarizes contributions by leading researchers in these diverse fields. It is not just another text on the biology of foraminifera. Rather, Barun Sen Gupta has accomplished his objective to "write an advanced text for university students that would also serve as a reference book for professionals"."
(Howard J. Spero, University of California at Davis in Limnology and Oceanography, 45:8 (2000)
