5.0 out of 5 stars
Enchanting introduction to coral reefs, with wonderful pictures,
By Thooz (New England USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coral Reefs: Cities Under the Sea (Casebound hardback) (Hardcover)
Murphy's snapshot of life in coral reefs--organized in chapters with such titles as "Public Health," "Advertising" and "Personal Lives" (in keeping with presenting the reef as a city)--is easy to follow and fascinating. It is a great book for those unfamiliar with reefs, who desire a clear introduction to, for instance, the symbiotic relationship between coral and algae and the basic functions of sponges, worms, etc. on the reef. Every page is accompanied by breathtaking color photographs.
His parallels to human cities and their lessons on sustainability can be slightly obvious, but these segues are brief and are more than made up for by his oftentimes humorous, enthusiastic text. |
