About the Book

Most Wonderful in the Smallest, written for the general public, presents a first-person journal of a yearlong record of collecting, identifying, describing, and photographing common microscopic organisms gathered from freshwater environments within short distances of the authors home. Extensively illustrated, numerous photographs of the organisms show details of taxonomy, anatomy, behavior, and environment that are mentioned in the journal. The authors objectives with this work are to document the great number and diversity of microscopic organisms that occupy freshwater environments all around us, to illustrate the fact that viewing and photographing these organisms does not require expensive or sophisticated means, and to call attention to and address the need for more people to recognize the presence and importance of these micro-communities.

About the Author :
Linda VanAller Hernick was born in Albany but grew up in the beautiful and historic Schoharie Valley of New York. She received a bachelor's degree in biology from the College of St. Rose and graduated from the Albany School of Cytotechnology. For sixteen years she worked in commercial cytopathology laboratories microscopically screening cell samples for cancer and cancer precursors. However, a fascination with paleontology ultimately led her to a career at the New York State Museum where she first microscopically examined disaggregated rock samples for Cambrian-age microfossils and, later, turned to paleobotany. Since retiring from the NYSM in 2014 I have been able to focus time and attention on light microscopy, my hobby of many years. In particular, I study the protists and micro-metazoans of freshwater environments. Most Wonderful in the Smallest came about as a result of realizing that there is very little literature available for the general public concerning freshwater microorganisms. She lives in Rensselaerville, New York, with my husband.
