5.0 out of 5 stars
Authoritative and beautiful,
By Hallstatt Prince (MA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nudibranchs of Southern Africa: A Guide to Opisthobranch Molluscs of Southern Africa (Paperback)
I am a push over for the brightly colored sea slug and this book features photos hundreds of them. It makes for an easily trust key of the species listed. Included also is a very helpful glossary. It is not only a beautiful book but a scholarly work as it goes into great detail on the biology of these creatures and on the environment in which they live.
Highly recommended.
