Authors:	Wilk-Woźniak Elżbieta
Abstract:	KNNV Publishing Utrecht has published a new book titled “Flora of the blue-green algae of the Netherlands. The non-filamentous species of inland waters”, in October 2006. The author Anton M.T. Joosten presents Chroococcales which exist in the waters of Netherlands. The taxonomy is compatible with that of Anagnostidis and Komarek. This is not “another” book about Cyanoprokaryotes but a very useful key with black and white pictures. The pictures are excellent with very good contrast which makes even the very small species visible so you really know what you should search for in your samples. There is still a big “hunger” for keys to the identification of cyanobacteria despite numerous publications about this group. The keys, which include pictures are very valuable, because everybody can compare what is seen under the microscope. This is very important to collect pictures from the different types of water and different part of the world to improve our knowledge about taxonomy, ecology and plasticity about blue-green algae. Correct identification is very important when you take into consideration the problem of toxicity.
