"Marine
fish & invertebrates of Northern Europe” is written for anyone with a general
interest in marine animal life, and who would like to learn more about their way
of life and behaviour, about the role they play in the drama of nature, and the
benefit and nuisance they are to man. The main portion of the book is arranged
in such a way that the different animal species are presented in a natural,
systematic order. More than one thousand magnificent colour photos of animals
taken in their natural environment support the informative text highlighting the
characteristics of each animal. “Marine fish & invertebrates” covers the North
European marine fauna and is a readable experience in itself. In addition, the
book is an important aid and source of inspiration to all who delight in the
ocean with its hidden life whether if be hobby, study or profession.

MARINE CONSERVATION SOCIETY:
"This is a marvellous book for anybody interested in life beneath the sea.
Packed with over 1200 colour photographs taken mainly in Norway (although
some from Shetland), it is a cornucopia of Northern European marine
treasures, written with great enthusiasm for the non-specialist and
specialist alike. Whilst presenting the animals in systematic order, this
book is conversational and approachable with photographs and text boxes on
specific behaviours. Marine Fish & Invertebrates of Northern Europe is a
must-buy for anyone interested in European, including UK, marine life." |
