Coral Fish

This book is about the diversity of fish in the tropics, from tiny gobies which can be just 1cm, to massive manta rays with a fin span of 6 metres! Linda Pitkin is an award winning underwater photographer, and also is a biologist interested in marine life. The book includes over 100 of her award winning and spectacular photographs. Highlights: - I particularly like the section about light organs on page 94, about Flashlightfishes that emit light to see and divers have said that the light appear to eerily float in mid-water. - I also really like the section on false eyes in "How do they protect themselves" on page 28. Critique: - I think that the photography in the book, taken by Linda Pitkin is really amazing. - I like the blue boxes of interesting information in the book. - The information is easy to understand and concise in each topic, not too technical - The book could have been longer! This is my only criticism! I would definitely recommend this book. It is really interesting and I have learnt a lot about coral fish from it!!! The pages are bright with clear, easy to understand text. The photography is amazing as well!!! I would rate this book ***** because it is really amazing!
