Phytoplankton—the  passively floating or weakly swimming plant life found in bodies of  water—is generally inconspicuous. It is of basic importance in lakes and  seas, however, as the primary producer of the organic material on which  other forms of aquatic life depend; and it is probable that its total  photosynthetic output exceeds that of land vegetation. This book reviews  the information gained from culture studies in the laboratory on the  growth kinetics and metabolism of algae and considers to what extent  this information is applicable to phytoplankton populations in nature.Dr. Fogg has laid a  solid foundation for such future investigations in this precise, clear,  and factual review, which admirably integrates laboratory and field  data. His book will be valuable not only to limnologists and marine  biologists but to many botanists and zoologists who do not consider  themselves primarily limnologists. Judiciously chosen illustrations,  including three full-color plates, add to the usefulness of the text.

In this book, Hawkins elegantly places Lebesgue's early work on integration theory within in proper historical context by relating it to the developments during the nineteenth century that motivated it and gave it significance and also to the contributions made in this field by Lebesgue's contemporaries. Hawkins was awarded the 1997 MAA Chauvenet Prize and the 2001 AMS Albert Leon Whiteman Memorial Prize for notable exposition and exceptional scholarship in the history of mathematics.
