Only basic PC skills are required to produce well presented graphs and simple summary statistics. Tinytag Explorer collects and displays all data from any Gemini datalogger, and is also used to launch the loggers at the outset of their application. The launch confirmation screen lists the complete configuration of the logger and can be printed out for inclusion in official documentation. The actual, minium and maximum measurements captured during a logging run are displayed in a graph which is linked to a statistical screen. The mouse can be clicked and dragged over the data to focus in on particular events, values, times and dates. This 'zoom' function is linked to the statistics screen which will automatically update to relate to the graph data being viewed. Multiple sets of data can be overlaid and compared. All data is easily transferable and can be simple cut and pasted into spreadsheets and exported to other programmes for further analysis and reporting.

Kick Net Kick nets are used for collecting macro zooplankton and small invertebrates in open water. Use in a sweeping motion in open water, downstream of aquatic weeds, or as a big drift net to collect floating invertebrates. In shallow water the kick net can be used to gently disturb the animals living on the bottom, and allow the current to sweep them into the net. The net should be placed at the downstream edge of the area so the current flows through it, then use a forward scooping motion to lift the net and retain the catch. This kick net has hardwood handles which slide into sleeves on each side of the net. The net removes quickly for easy transportation and storage. The net is made of Nitex bolting cloth with 500 um mesh, size 1m x 1m, with weights sewn in at the bottom.

The Encyclopedia of Fungi of Britain and Europe An excellent photographic guide to more than 1000 of the most important species of fungi found in the British Isles and northern Europe. This guide is the only one to show each specimen on its natural substrate, in its most typical habitat, and in natural light to show its true colours. Each large, clear colour photograph is accompanied by a detailed description of the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of each species following internationally approved guidelines. A general description is followed by details of dimensions, fruiting body, spores, odour, taste, chemical test identification if any, occurrence, edibility, and distinguishing characteristics. Both Latin and common names are listed. Each text reflects the specimens collected and photographed, and both text and illustrations are designed to aid correct identification. Author Michael Jordan has been studying and collecting fungi for over 30 years, bringing the subject to a wider audience through his series Mushroom Magic for Channel 4, and has taken most of the photographs in this book himself, walking an estimated 2000 miles, over three years, in the process! His dedication is apparent in this comprehensive, informative and beautifully illustrated book.
