Abstract
This book represents the „Lebenswerk“ (‘work of a lifetime’, as he himself calls it) of Erwin Reichardt, world-renowned amateur diatomist and one of the leading Gomphonema Ehrenberg specialists. The title could be translated as ‘The diatoms in the area of the city of Treuchtlingen’. It demonstrates the unimaginable wealth of diatoms that can be found, if an area of only c. 100 km2 is documented in depth. According to him (and I heartily agree), it is likely to be "the most extensive and detailed representation of the diatoms of a region that has ever been published". It comprises two large (30x24 cm) books including 1184 pages and, most importantly, over 10,000 photographs arranged in more than 450 plates (the second volume comprises only plates).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
