ABSTRACT
It is sometimes thought that a picture is worth a thousand words. This chapter is
formed by a collection of 79 figures that relate to some aspects of groundwater
microbiology. The original plan was to include these figures directly into the
chapters and appendices relevant to the text. However, it became very apparent that
many of these figures could actually be related to more than one chapter which
makes cross-referencing a challenge. To resolve these problems, all of the figures
have been placed in this chapter in an order that follows roughly the book’s first
eight chapters. After developing the book, it was clear that this chapter containing
the graphics is essentially independent of the rest of the book, and therefore should
be considered as a separate source of information that can augment the information
presented in the rest of the book. It is therefore recommended that this chapter be
read as an adjunct to the rest of the book and hopefully clarifies some of the concepts
being presented in the text. Cross-references to other parts of the text can be found in
the index of the book and also in the contents pages at the front of the book.
