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.

ATLAS
This book is in good condition with a slight amount of wear to the
binding. It measures 8.5 x 11 inches, has 854 pages with glossary. It is
profusely illustrated with range maps and line drawings or black &
white photographs
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
