Förlagets beskrivning
*New enhanced edition of the best-selling guide to sea creatures: The World Beneath!* Meet the worlds most fascinating sea creatures, see the lives and curiosities of colorful fish and coral reefs. This spectacular volume has more than 300 color photos and extraordinary text from a leading marine biologist and underwater photographer who is the international expert on seahorses. In this richly informative volume, brimming with new discoveries and more than three hundred colorful images of jaw-dropping fish and coral reefs, youll swim in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans; youll be dazzled in the Coral Triangle and amazed in Triton Bay. Up close youll meet the Cenderawasih fairy wrasse, with its florescent yellow streak; the polka-dot longnose filefish; and the multicolored seadragon. There are scarlet-colored corals, baby-blue sponges, daffodil crinoids, and all sorts of mystifying creatures that change color at the drop of a hat. The whale shark is almost larger than life and the authors beloved pygmy seahorse, unless photographed, is almost too tiny to see. The wondrous creatures inside are charmers and tricksters and excel in the arts of seduction and deception, and youll have the rare chance to see and delight in their antics. Youll also learn what they eat, how they play, and how they care for one another, live on one another, and mimic others when theyre afraid. There is also compelling insight into the naming process, which sea creatures are facing extinction, and how we can help them before it's too late. This new and expanded edition of The World Beneath has new text from award-winning author Dr. Richard Smith that covers recent developments and discoveries affecting the rapidly changing landscape of the worlds coral reefs, a wealth of new images from recent dives around the world, and a thorough index
