Reviews

This welcome addition to the crustacean literature compiles, for the first time, descriptions and figures of larvae from all the different groups of crustaceans. Many are exquisite, never-before published scanning electron micrographs or light microscope photographs... One especially helpful feature is a table clarifying the many different (and often confusing) terms that have been used for the larvae of crabs and shrimps. This book is an essential reference, valuable for any natural history library. * Choice * The volume not only has the intended first-rate scientific rigor, but will also serve as a fetching and stimulating embellishment for the biologists' office desk or even home coffee table... This volume will be the definitive work on crustacean larvae for some time to come, and it will surely find its place in the libraries of academic institutions, museums, and many biologists. For the price, Atlas of Crustacean Larvae is truly a bargain. -- Raymond T. Bauer * Quarterly Review of Biology *
