Recenzje

'The chapters in this volume are clearly written and all are informative. The book is well produced. The bibliographies are very valuable, with reference to both older 'landmark' publications and recent studies, and there is a good, comprehensive index. The organisers/editors are to be congratulated for putting together such a timely volume of particularly great value to those of us who were not fortunate enough to attend the symposium.' M.A. Sleigh, European Journal of Protistology 29 (1993)
