About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the third edition:
"The book is a combination of rigour, detail, and clarity. The prose is succinct and accessible, and the illustrations … are appropriate … . Of course, protozoologists will benefit from owning, or having access to this book, but others including applied and pure ecologist and broad range of phylogenists, microbiologists, and ultrastruturalists will appreciate its content and views. … it is a comprehensive reference work for students, teachers, and researchers interested in ciliate phylogeny, taxonomy, life histories, structure, and function." (David J.S. Montagnes, Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, Vol. 18 (1), March, 2009)

About the editor
Dr. Denis H. Lynn received his graduate training at the University of Toronto where he received his Ph.D. Protozoology in 1975. His early research on the comparative ultrastructure of ciliates was published in Biological Reviews and lead to a revised classification of the Phylum Ciliophora, which was published in 1981 in collaboration with Eugene B. Small. Dr. Lynn has published extensively on ciliates, authoring more than a dozen book chapters and almost 120 refereed publications. He is currently a full professor in the Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, and Editor in Chief of The Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology.
