درباره این کتاب:
This volume
presents a broad panorama of the current
status of research of invertebrate animals
considered belonging to the phylum
Cnidaria, such as hydra, jellyfish, sea
anemone, and coral. In this book the
Cnidarians are traced from the Earth’s
primordial oceans, to their response to
the warming and acidifying oceans. Due to
the role of corals in the carbon and
calcium cycles, various aspects of
cnidarian calcification are discussed. The
relation of the Cnidaria with Mankind is
approached, in accordance with the
Editors’ philosophy of bridging the
artificial schism between science, arts
and Humanities. Cnidarians' encounters
with humans result in a broad spectrum of
medical emergencies that are reviewed. The
final section of the volume is devoted to
the role of Hydra and Medusa in mythology
and art..
