After the successful release of the second edition in open access, I decided to publish a revised second edition with updated content, more figures, and significant updates to many Larger Benthic Foraminifera orders and families.

Throughout the writing of this book, numerous friends and colleagues have helped me. I would like to thank Prof Pamela Hallock Muller, University of South Florida, for carefully editing and reviewing Chapter 1, and Prof Vladimir Davydov of Florida International University, for reviewing early drafts of Chapter 2. I am grateful to the late Prof Lucas Hottinger, and to Dr G. Wyn Hughes for carefully reviewing various sections of this book. I would like to thank Ebrahim Mohammadi, Iran University for carefully reading the first edition and Prof Ahmad Aftab for sending me information on Pakistan localities.

I am grateful to Prof. Schlagintweit and Prof. Özcan from Maslak Geology Dept. for allowing me to publish their illustrations, Mr. Vova for Vietnam material, SEA Group for Indonesian material, Fischer and Kindler from Univ. of Geneva for SE Bahamas material, and Prof. Xiumian for Tibetan material.

In producing this edition, I received significant support from Prof David Price, my colleague and friend. Also, Chris Penfold from UCL Press played a crucial role in creating this open access work.

There are many photographs and illustrations in this book. Most are original, but some are reproduced from standard sources. I have tried to contact or reference all potential copyright holders. If I have overlooked any or been inaccurate in any acknowledgement, I apologise unreservedly and I will ensure that suitable corrections are made in subsequent editions
