The first edition of The Prokaryotes, published in 1981, took a
bold step to become the most comprehensive and authoritative
encyclopedic handbook on prokaryotes. Another important step was
taken with the second edition in 1992, when the chapters were
organized on the basis of the molecular phylogeny as a rational,
evolutionary basis for the taxonomy of the prokaryotes. By then,
the two volumes of the first edition had expanded to four. With the
decision to publish the handbook electronically, the third edition
was the boldest step of all. The advantages were obvious and
persuasive: essentially unlimited space, no restrictions on the use
of color, and the inclusion of film and animated illustrations.
Nevertheless, the affection for a printed handbook was highly
underestimated and during the first 5 years of the continuously
evolving online version, a growing demand for a new print edition
was voiced by the scientific and corporate community. Thus,
Springer is now publishing a third edition in printed form. In
total, 7 volumes will make up this new fully revised and updated
version. Compared to the second edition, this edition will contain
85 per cent new contents, printed in color throughout. It will be
ideally suited for research centers in academia and in the
corporate world that need reliable and up-to-date information on
the biology of the prokaryotic organisms.
