In this book, John Murray sets out to discuss benthic foraminiferal ecology and its applications on the basis of observations of living assemblages on a global scale. This strict approach is different from previous efforts, which often considered dead assemblages as well. It results in a very clear observational framework about the actual conditions that support the assemblages found. The book is very clearly laid out, supported by an enormous web-based resource, with tables of all the data presented in the book.

The book starts with brief summaries on methods and biological/ecological aspects. Next, it launches into the discussion of benthic foraminiferal distributions. Here, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
