THE AUTHORS OF THIS NEW BOOK HAVE BEEN
LEADERS IN THE INDIAN AQUATIC INDUSTRY FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE DEVOTED
MUCH OF THAT TIME TO CATALOGUING AND PHOTOGRAPHING WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO
BE THE "AQUARIUM WORTHY SPECIES" WHICH ARE FOUND IN THE REGION.
THE RESULTS OF THEIR LABOURS ARE SET OUT IN THIS BOOK IN WHICH THEY
IDENTIFY AND ILLUSTRATE WITH COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS THESE SPECIES AS WELL AS
PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR HABITS, REQUIREMENTS AND SUITABILITY TO
THE AQUARIST. THE CLEAR USE OF SYMBOLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS
MAKES THIS A PARTICULARLY USEFUL WORK OF REFERENCE.

***ATLAS OF NORTH AMERICAN
FRESHWATER FISHES
Edited by David S. Lee et al.
This atlas attempts to summarize available distributional information on
all the freshwater fishes of the United States and Canada, and to provide
some information on their biology. Although the many needs for such a
volume have long been obvious, only in the last few years has a work of
this nature been feasible.
The desirability of this compilation is perhaps best attested to by the
large number of individuals from many agencies and institutions in both
countries who volunteered their services to make it a reality. Probably no
other single zoological work has been so willingly supported by such a
wide spectrum of enthusiastic contributors. We anticipate that the atlas
will be useful in studies of biogeography, systematics, and ecology, and
to persons involved in fisheries management and environmental assessment.
It should also be quite important to educators, and to fishermen and
general outdoorsmen in the United States and Canada.

***** OCEANLIFE.
By Sally Morgan and
Pauline Lalor.
Oceanlife is a journey into the seas,
beautifully illustrated with a wealth of superb colour photography
from around the world. Starting from the shore, where the oceans meet the
land, and diving ever further down to the depths where darkness and
enormous water pressure makes exploration almost impossible, it considers
the very different life-forms that are found in the various habitats. With a number
of special feature sections that look at subjects such as dolphins,
hammerheads, coral photography and camouflage in detail, it includes
chapters on Coral Reefs, The open Ocean and The Sea Beds.
This lavishly illustrated Hardback book in colour, with Dust cover. 512
pages is in mint condition
with only very light wear to the dust cover
