Handbook of Methods in Aquatic Microbial Ecology is the first
comprehensive compilation of 85 fundamental methods in modern
aquatic microbial ecology. Each method is presented in a detailed,
step-by-step format that allows readers to adopt new methods with
little difficulty. The methods represent the state of the art, and
many have become standard procedures in microbial research and
environmental assessment. The book also presents practical advice
on how to apply the methods. It will be an indispensable reference
for marine and freshwater research laboratories, environmental
assessment laboratories, and industrial research labs concerned
with microbial measurements in water.

"This book," writes marine biologist Evelyn B. Sherr, "is meant to
give others an understanding of the fascinating life of the region,
from the smallest creatures in marsh mud and estuarine water, to
the mummichogs and multitudes of other animals that find food and
shelter in the vast expanses of marsh grass, in the sounds, and
along the beaches of the Georgia Isles." Sherr not only spent years
doing research in coastal Georgia, she began her family there.
Although Sherr's career would take her around the world, this
special place stuck with her. Here she shares her deep knowledge of
the remarkable environment that she, her scientist husband, and
their two children explored time and again.Dr. Sherr is the ideal
companion with whom to discover coastal Georgia. She points out its
swimming, running, flying, drifting, and wriggling wildlife-and
tells how it all exists in balance in a landscape subject to its
own daily ebbs and flows, its own seasonal cycles. As we learn
about Georgia's distinctive intertidal salt marshes, subtidal
estuaries, and open beaches and dunes, Sherr reveals the creatures
that support-and are supported by-these habitats: the microbes in
estuarine water and in marsh mud; the zooplankton swarming in the
tidal rivers and sounds; and numerous fish, reptiles, birds, and
mammals. This engaging and curiosity-rousing book blends scientific
fact with a timely conservation message and anecdotes of a family's
encounters with nature.
