…well edited, incisive and highly informative. A treat to read and a joy to browse – the images alone could sustain a coffee-table art book.
It’s a reference book, but when you have a moment just dip in at random for fascinating reflections of what British marine-life diving is all about.
I cannot recommend it highly enough, to marine biologists and non-marine biologists alike…
This book is recommended to anyone with an interest in marine life, from armchair naturalists and curious kids to university-level biologists and beyond. …so much more than a species list – it’s a guide to how we can search for them and at the same time understand their lives.
…includes even more stunning underwater photography and captivating text than its predecessors. …this book is a celebration of our wonderful marine life which will inspire and educate readers with stunning photography and fascinating accounts of animal behaviour and interactions.
It is nothing less than a triumph: a gasp on every page, the knock-you-dead pictures are combined with readable text. This book is a series of revelations about a world where most of don’t go, and it tells us of the vast unseen diversity of the seas. Every page of Naylor’s book is an inducement to look after this cold wet stuff better than we do.
