."..certain books...need to be used, dipped into for specific tasks
to see if they are up to the job....This second edition of Robert
Lee's Phycology is just such a book and I'm pleased to say that it
is up to the job!....I can thoroughly recommend this book." Robert
Edyvean, New Phytologist
"All in all, Phycology is an outstanding introductory text which is
enhanced by occasional anecdotal information, such as finding
fossil coccoliths in classroom chalk...I, for one, expect this book
to find its way onto most all phycologists' desks and into many of
their classrooms." BioScience
"Lee provides an excellent introduction to general phycology."
Choice
"Lee's book is a salutary attempt to review selected recent
literature couching this information in general, background
knowledge available from classical texts...Lee injects humor into
his book particularly in his defense of the blue algae. His style
is easy to read, terms are in bold face followed by various
synonyms and his book closes with a very helpful
glossary...Overall, this book is a welcome addition to the field of
phycology and a very readable review of many aspects of this
diverse discipline." Bulletin of Marine Science
