Plant Material Collection of the rhodophyte G. skottsbergii was done manually during scuba dives within 3.5 km of Palmer Station on Anvers Island off the western Antarctic Peninsula (64° 46.5 S, 64° 03.3 W) at a depth of 5-12 m. Identifications were made by Prof. Bill J. Baker (University of South Florida) and Prof. Charles D. Amsler (University of Alabama at Birmingham).

The Chemical Ecology of Antarctic Marine Organisms Research Project was initiated in 1988 by James McClintock, shown here (fifth from left) with his team of colleagues and research assistants. In 1992, he was joined by Bill Baker (second from right). Baker is shown in the inset dressing for a dive into the icy Antarctic water. Like many other science projects, this one was interdisciplinary, involving the efforts of scientists from a variety of backgrounds. 

The scientific process is aptly illustrated by the efforts of an Antarctic research team headed by James McClintock, professor of biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Bill Baker, professor of chemistry at the University of South Florida, both shown in Figure 1.6. One aspect of their research involved studying the toxic chemicals Antarctic marine organisms secrete to defend themselves against predators. McClintock and Baker observed a bizarre relationship between two animal species, a sea butterfly and an amphipod— a relationship that led to a series of scientific activities. 

The first chapter of this textbook is graced by the research efforts of Professors Jim McClintock of the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and Bill Baker of the University of South Florida, who were quick to provide not only their permissions but some beautiful photographs of the Antarctic. A big Hawaiian mahalo to them both. Jim and Bill s scientific work is outlined using the Wheel of Scientific Inquiry shown in Figure 1.5. This model was developed by William Harwood and his graduate students at Indiana University. I am indebted to Professor Harwood for his permission to incorporate this model into Conceptual Chemistry.

Chapter 4 by Bill J. Baker of the Florida Institute of Technology reviews "p-Carboline and Isoquinolinc Alkaloids from Marine Organisms". p-Carbolinc and isoquinoline alkaloids are some of the pharmacologically most significant marine natural products. This chapter treats the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis, and pharmacological activity of these alkaloids.
