A book review of interest to amateur microscopists...
Hi y'all
Steve Neeley (psneeley) has written a brief book review of interest to our amateur microscopy members. We all know how difficult it can be to identify many microorganisms. The book Steve reviewed, I'm sure, will be a valued reference to all amateur microscopists. And the best part...it is darned inexpensive
Read Steve's review HERE.
Thanks a bunch, Steve.

The worst day photographing dragonflies is better than the best day working!

This book is AWESOME!!
267 pages plus cover material. Pages 16 through 245 consist entirely of beautiful photographs with informative captions. (Charlie's stuff would fit right in -- a high compliment to both!) This all packs into a 40MB download, and to my eye the photographs have suffered very little if at all from the compression.
The electronic version is of course fully searchable -- a few seconds to find the Chilodonella uncinata picture on page 160.
For $3.79 PayPal transaction, I can't recall ever seeing another deal this good!
I had a bit of trouble finding the download, but it was well worth the search.

Steve, I owe you bigtime for finding this -- thanks!

Edit: Corrected my silly mistake of typing "Peter" instead of "Steve".

Try http://www.shaker.eu/en/content/catalog ... 322-2544-5.
I believe that's the latest version of the same book, as PDF. The price has gone up (to 7.37 EUR at this moment), but it's still a great deal.

The Book and many more are available as Free downloads
The book you mentioned it fantastic, but it has been freely available on Foissners web site for years along with dozens of other PDF books regarding various ciliates. Foissner was the 2nd author and supervised this project.
http://www.wfoissner.at/publications.htm
He provides them freely and there are at least a dozen which are very useful, I have downloaded all of them. If you are interested in ciliates take a look and they are free.
