Reviews

"This large-format photographic tome opens a window on an array of fascinating marine creatures and their adaptations to life at sea..." Matt Doggett, Marine Biologist, BBC Wildlife Magazine February 2017. "...this is one fine-looking book of underwater life, and the splendid matt-black cover with its laminated jellyfish does it proud...As it is, GBP1.50 per 100g turns out to be pretty good value, especially if what you're seeking is an impressive looking gift and a particularly nice touch is the final chapter touching on the deadliest predator of all (you have one guess) and input from the great Dr Sylvia Earle on the perils of plastic waste" Diver Magazine April 2017
