For example, after reading the first chapter on macroalgae, I was expecting a second one covering microalgae; also if there is a chapter on photobiology of microalgae and cyanobacteria, a corresponding chapter on macroalgae would have been helpful. The second chapter entitled "Solar energy conversion, oxygen evolution and carbon assimilation in cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae" focuses on solar radiation energy conversion, oxygen production, and carbon utilization during the photosynthetic process in some cyanobacteria and some specific microalgal groups. Beyond the interest of the presented topics on each chapter, I was disappointed not to see any chapter on microalgal biomass use and their potential as food and feed. [Extracted from the article]

This book has a tasteful layout, it is well illustrated, it gives a good overview of the seaweed flora of Greenland, and it contains a wealth of information and curiosities about exotic, high-Arctic species and their life histories. The habitats, species diversity and environmental conditions for algal growth in the coastal waters of Greenland are then described, and the possible exploitation of seaweeds in Greenland evaluated. The book starts with Pedersen revealing how he as a student became interested in the study of Greenland's seaweed. [Extracted from the article]

Highlights from the article: For the non-specialist, this catalogue of seaweeds can be challenging to read, but the illustrations and beautiful images of herbarium specimens, species I in situ i and microscope images, make it more accessible. The last published New Zealand flora (Broady et al. [1]; Harper et al. [2]; Nelson [3]) listed about 900 species of seaweeds in New Zealand, including the subantarctic and Kermadec Islands. Some groups of algae are notoriously difficult to identify morphologically, even by specialists, and molecular data are now considered essential for correct species identification (e.g. species of I Ulva i , the filamentous green alga I Cladophora, i and red coralline algae).

The author presents a criticism of the Latin poem "Aeneid" by Virgil. He mentions the use of the word "abiete" in the description of the Wooden Horse, the seaweed Cystoseira to which it refers, and the appropriateness of seaweed in a gift from Poseidon.
