The foraminifera constitute the most diverse group of shelled micro-organisms in modern seas. This work, designed as a wide-ranging, graduate text, deals with the systematics, cell biology, chamber construction, biogeography, ecology, shell geochemistry, and taphonomy of these protists. The main theme concerns large-scale and small-scale patterns of species distributions and the environmental processes that affect these patterns. Critical first principles, whether derived from biology, chemistry, or geology, are carefully explained.
