"In this excellent book, the
author's fascinating text describes the biology and
behaviour of a selection of marine life.... The
text, however, is but an accompaniment to a series
of striking and outstanding colour photographs
which I would rank as among the best of marine life
that I have seen in any book. The extraordinary
living colours and bizarre appearance of many of
these marine denizens are strikingly portrayed.
This book will appeal to all with an interest in
marine biology and is worth its price for the
pictures alone."
"Jonathan Bird's photos of North
Atlantic marine life are stunning in this
intelligent and information-packed text."
"...this attractive introduction
to the marine biology of the North Atlantic is
approximately one-third text and two-thirds
beautiful color photos...This volume contains more
factual information on marine biology and less
technical information on diving and underwater
photography than Norbert Wu's Splendors of the
Seas. An attractive addition to general
collections, especially those serving young people
contemplating a career in marine biology." "North Atlantic divers--or those
who've moved away and miss it--won't want to miss
Jonathan Bird's Beneath the North Atlantic.
Nice...coffee-table-size book that really made me
homesick for those good ol' cold northern waters.
Great photography and plenty of interesting little
facts about my once-home waters."
"This book explores the marine life of the Atlantic coast of America in 160 landscape pages of excellent colour photographs and text. The book is a coffee-table introduction to the cold Atlantic waters rather than a comprehensive identification guide and academic text. "However, there are lots of interesting snippets of information, including the introductory page on Latin, and Greek, names, with some notes on pronunciation, which everybody should know, but many do not. The same applies to the Glossary, which is not comprehensive but has many inclusions that are left out of popular books and is all the more interesting because of this. "The text goes into remarkable detail including information about the normal visibility distances, and why this is so restricted. The numerous and excellent colour photographs are all clear enough for identification and beautiful in their own right. "British readers will be pleased that there are species found on the other side of the Atlantic that are found in the seas surrounding the British Isles." -British Marine Life Study
