In this book the Cnidarians are\ntraced from the Earth’s primordial oceans, to their response to the warming and\nacidifying oceans. Due to the role of corals in the carbon and calcium cycles,\nvarious aspects of cnidarian calcification are discussed. The relation of the\nCnidaria with Mankind is approached, in accordance with the Editors’ philosophy\nof bridging the artificial schism between science, arts and Humanities.  Cnidarians' encounters with humans result in\na broad spectrum of medical emergencies that are reviewed. The final section of\nthe volume is devoted to the role of Hydra and Medusa in mythology and art. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319810096\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-31305-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279.0cm x210.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 855.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542909776012,"sku":"9783319810096","price":341.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319810096.jpg?v=1759338678","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319810096","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
