Reviews
I would [...] recommend that one urge your institutional librarian to subscribe to the series. While the treatment of several topics is not at the depth seen in the old series edited by Bliss (Academic Press), this series does include much of the French and other European literature that is overlooked by Americans.

'The best point of this issue is that most of chapters has been carefully revised by specialists, thus giving to this volume the same level of the previous ones of the series.'
Maria Lucia Negreiros Fransozo.
'This excellent publication is the first in what will be a six- to eight-volume series on the crustacea, [...] Students and researchers worldwide will welcome this outstanding reference. Well organized and clearly written […] it offers lengthy bibliographies and both taxonomic and subject indexes. Summing up: Highly recommended. Library collections supporting research on the crustacea at the upper-level undergraduate level and above.'
