Brilliant Photography Illustrates Reef Ecology August 2, 2003
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
A cousin of mine travels around the world to dive on the most beautiful reefs. Encouraged by that, but not being a diver, I've made it a point to snorkel and take glass-bottomed boats to look at reefs whenever they are present. All along, I've wondered why he found the skin diving to be so wonderful. Now, I know. Coral Reefs exposes a world of vivid and bizarre colors and shapes that I had never imagined could exist. Having also listened to more talks about coral than I care to remember, I was also pleasantly surprised to learn a lot more than I knew before about the development of the reefs and the ecological challenges they face. Of the many beautiful books focusing on nature's wonders that I have seen, I would have to rank this one near the top. At its modest price, this book is also a good value. If you only buy one nature book this year, buy this one!!!!! After you finish the book, why not take a moment to plan how you can see one of the reefs close up on a future trip? Perhaps you should even consider learning to skin dive, if you don't already.

This wonderful little book is a great introduction to coral reefs for people who don't know a whole lot about them. Well worth it's price.
