Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Copepod crustaceans are the most numerous multicellular animals on earth. They occur in every free-living and parasitic aquatic niche. Copepods have been known since the time of Aristotle, yet there has never been a history of the study of copepods. This volume, the first in a planned three-volume series, reviews the discoveries of copepods to 1832, the year that the two distinct branches, the free-living copepods (long-known as insects) and the parasitic copepods (thought to be molluscs or worms) were finally acknowledged as members of the same Class Crustacea. The narrative includes the biographies of 90 early copepodologists and recounts their most important contributions to science. Portraits are included for two-thirds of the subjects, with considerable new material as well as information and illustrations from obscure sources. Milestones include the first description of copepods (ca. 350 B.C.), the first illustration (1554), the first free-living freshwater copepod (1688), the first explanation of a free-living copepod's metamorphosis (1756), the first permanently named copepod (1758), the first free-living marine copepod (1770), and the first description of a parasitic copepod's metamorphosis (1819). The work ends with a transition to the mid-19th century, previewing numerous personal connections that pointed toward copepodology's Golden Age in the 1890s, to be covered in Volume 2. A final volume will take the history of the study of copepods to ca. 1950.

This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Conchological Dictionary of the British Islands The elegance and simplicity in the contour or shape of shells, the richness and variety of their colors, and the singularity in many of their forms, have ever excited attention to this confined but in teresting department of created nature and the comparative facility with which they may be col lected and arranged, together with the durability of their structure, make them peculiarly adapted for the display ofa cabinet. Their uses, however, have not been entirely confined to the gaze of curiosity, or to fanciful embellishment. The inhabitants of many of them give a rich and nutritious food. The greater part of the lime used in America, for agri. Cultural and architectural purposes, is made of cal cined shells the public streets of Christianstadt and Santa Cruz, are paved with the Strombus Gigas; and the town of Conchylion is entirely built of marine shells. The blue and White belts of the Indians of North America, as symbols of peace and amity, in opposition to the war hatchet, and by which the fate of nations is often decided, are made of the Venus mercenaria; and the gorget of the chieftain's war-dress is formed of the Mytiv lus margaritiferus. The military horn of many African tribes is the Murex Tritonis the rare vav riety of which, with the volutions reversed, is held.
