This volume is a luminous compendium documenting our progress toward understanding important issues in several scientific arenas. In addition to being a timely review by a broad spectrum of scientists, this will be an excellent resource for teachers, and uninitiated novices as well as professional crustacean biologists. It will become an indispensable resource in the scientific community.
