Recensione

'I recommend [this book] unreservedly to all phycologists; there is something for everyone.' John Raven, European Journal of Phycology

'This book will be the source to scoop plentifully for a long time.' Lothar Jaenicke, SGM Quarterly

'In this excellent, well-written and well-documented monograph, Kirk has made a critical compilation of the accumulated literature on Volvox and has encompassed the whole field, the pinnacle of which is his own work.' Lothar Jaenicke, Trends in Microbiology

Descrizione del libro

The central thesis of this book is that Volvox and its unicellular and colonial relatives provide a wholly unrivalled opportunity to explore the proximate and ultimate causes underlying the evolution, from unicellular ancestors, of multicellular organisms with fully differentiated cell types.
