Jack E. Randall and the University of Hawai’i Press have published a new fish identification book from the South Pacific. This book may be more interesting than other ID books because it is full of entries containing scientific names, dates described, and accounts by the author(s) who first described the fish.
The UH Press site is running a 20% sale through the month of May, but if would like to purchase the book after May, you can use this .pdf coupon for 20% off until the end of the 2005.
Hopefully most of the fish are alive in this one. Rather then dead examples lying on the slab in the lab!
There is no doubting the author’s scientific credentials, but some of his previous books have not been the most esthetically pleasing.Posted by Dr. Alex Mustard on 05/28 at 03:17 AMThe ones on the cover look like they’re alive! I haven’t seen the book yet, but I did order it. I’ll report back when I get it.
