| Summary |
The first edition of The Prokaryotes, published in 1981, took a bold step to become the most comprehensive and authoritative encyclopedic handbook on prokaryotes |
|
Another important step was taken with the second edition in 1992, when the chapters were organized on the basis of the molecular phylogeny as a rational, evolutionary basis for the taxonomy of the prokaryotes |
|
By then, the two volumes of the first edition had expanded to four |
|
With the decision to publish the handbook electronically, the third edition was the boldest step of all |
|
The advantages were obvious and persuasive: essentially unlimited space, no restrictions on the use of color, and the inclusion of film and animated illustrations |
|
Nevertheless, the affection for a printed handbook was highly underestimated and during the first 5 years of the continuously evolving online version, a growing demand for a new print edition was voiced by the scientific and corporate community |
|
Thus, Springer is now publishing a third edition in printed form |
|
In total, 7 volumes will make up this new fully revised and updated version |
|
Compared to the second edition, this edition will contain 85% new contents, printed in color throughout |
|
It will be ideally suited for research centers in academia and in the corporate world that need reliable and up-to-date information on the biology of the prokaryotic organisms |
