| The fish is
the most successful vertebrate in the world. Fishes outnumber all other
species of backboned animals by twenty to one, and only their adaptability
has enabled them to achieve their dominant position in the animal world and
to be capable of colonising almost every stretch of water on the face of the
earth.

***** 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
