商品描述
The aim of this new book series (Diatoms: Biology and Applications)is to provide a comprehensive and reliable source of information on diatom biology and applications. The first book of the series, Diatoms Fundamentals & Applications, is wide ranging, starting with the contributions of amateurs and the beauty of diatoms, to details of how their shells are made, how they bend light to their advantage and ours, and major aspects of their biochemistry (photosynthesis and iron metabolism). The book then delves into the ecology of diatoms living in a wide range of habitats, and look at those few that can kill or harm us. The book concludes with a wide range of applications of diatoms, in forensics, manufacturing, medicine, biofuel and agriculture. The contributors are leading international experts on diatoms. This book is for a wide audience researchers, academics, students, and teachers of biology and related disciplines, written to both act as an introduction to diatoms and to present some of the most advanced research on them.

這本新書系列（《硅藻：生物學與應用》）的目的是提供一個全面且可靠的硅藻生物學及其應用的資訊來源。系列的第一本書《硅藻基礎與應用》內容廣泛，從業餘愛好者的貢獻和硅藻的美麗開始，深入探討它們的殼是如何形成的、如何利用光的折射來獲益，以及它們生物化學的主要方面（光合作用和鐵代謝）。接著，書中探討了生活在各種棲息地的硅藻生態，並關注那些少數能夠對我們造成傷害或致命的硅藻。最後，書中介紹了硅藻在法醫學、製造業、醫學、生物燃料和農業等領域的廣泛應用。貢獻者是硅藻領域的國際專家。這本書適合廣泛的讀者，包括研究人員、學者、學生以及生物學及相關學科的教師，旨在作為硅藻的入門介紹，同時呈現一些最前沿的研究成果。
作者簡介
Professor J. Seckbach is a retired senior academician at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. He earned his MSc. & PhD from the University of Chicago. He was appointed to the Hebrew University, Jerusalem (as a senior Lecturer) and spent sabbaticals at UCLA and Harvard University. He served at Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge, LA, USA, as the first selected Chair for the Louisiana Sea Grant and Technology transfer. He has edited over 35 scientific books by various publishers and 140 scientific articles on plant ferritin-phytoferritin, cellular evolution, acidothermophilic algae, and life in extreme environments and on astrobiology.
Richard Gordon's involvement with diatoms goes back to 1970 with his capillarity model for their gliding motility, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. He later worked on a diffusion limited aggregation model for diatom morphogenesis, which led to the first paper ever published on diatom nanotechnology in 1988. He organized the first workshop on diatom nanotech in 2003. His other research is on computed tomography algorithms, HIV/AIDS prevention, and embryogenesis.

J. Seckbach 教授是以色列耶路撒冷希伯來大學的退休高級學者。他在芝加哥大學獲得碩士和博士學位。隨後，他被任命為耶路撒冷希伯來大學的高級講師，並在加州大學洛杉磯分校（UCLA）和哈佛大學度過了休假。他曾在美國路易斯安那州巴吞魯日的路易斯安那州立大學（LSU）擔任路易斯安那海洋贈款與技術轉移的首位選定主席。他編輯了超過35本由不同出版社出版的科學書籍，以及140篇有關植物鐵蛋白-植物鐵蛋白、細胞演化、酸熱藻類、極端環境中的生命以及天體生物學的科學文章。
Richard Gordon與矽藻的關係可以追溯到1970年，他發表了有關矽藻滑動運動的毛細管模型，該研究發表在《美國國家科學院院刊》（Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America）。他後來研究了矽藻形態生成的擴散限制聚集模型，這導致了1988年首次發表的矽藻納米技術相關論文。他於2003年組織了第一場矽藻納米技術研討會。他的其他研究包括計算機斷層掃描算法、HIV/AIDS預防和胚胎發生。
