Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the result of a scientist's meticulous research into a variety of minute organisms found in the sandy ocean beds of Britain. These organisms - known as Foraminifera - were studied by the author with the aid of powerful microscopes and elaborate chemical processes. This book is the result of the author's sustained efforts over many years. Foraminifera are beautiful and complex creatures whose fossil records tell a story of drastic environmental changes over hundreds of millions of years. The study of these organisms is therefore a key element in helping us to understand the history of the earth itself. The author's work is not merely limited to Foraminifera however and includes details about various other microorganisms from the same environment. The author's research also highlights the complexity and diversity of life that exists in these tiny organisms. It is not simply a descriptive account of the various types of Foraminifera found in British coastal waters, but also a significant and detailed investigation into the history of life on earth.
