5.0 out of 5 stars A foundational find!, October 31, 2009
By 
This review is from: Marine Invertebrates and Plants of the Living Reef (Hardcover)
Given the price of 'all-inclusive' books today this is one of those hard to believe finds. Dr. Colin does an exceptional overview of the "American Mediterranean" which, seasoned by his photography, makes this a must-have book for your personal library. The bibliography alone is worth the purchase price! A sad bit of nostalgia to see the photos of Diadema antillarum, which used to be so common. The author writes of which he does, both to excellence. His academics and photography are inspiring. To add more to the book would change its size and format and that would destroy the uniqueness of it as a carry-along. Get one for the road and one for the shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Marine Invertebrates and Plants, July 5, 2000
This review is from: Marine Invertebrates and Plants of the Living Reef (Hardcover)
This book is worth while as it is loaded with information. Though it maybe a older book, the information makes it a great resource.
