The only book you need when keeping goldfish, 2001-11-22
This book has helped me in looking after my fish. I don't think I would have fish today if I didn't have this book.
It comes across in plain english that anyone can understand, and helps you have more healthier fish.
Thank you Maddy for a great book.

Excellent, 2010-03-25
If you enjoy learning about the marine environment you'll enjoy this book. It is very good and informative. It begins with a few fairly indepth chapters on basic oceanography and then covers all the marine habitats from the benthic zone, epipelagic zone, deep sea, coral reefs etc. The last chapter is about overfishing and man's impacts on the world's oceans with detail of what habitats are being overfished and to what extent. Very good indeed.

a basic description of the books appeal, 2000-09-16
This is Gavin Maxwell's first book . And tells of his attempt to set up a fishery for the basking shark ,on the west coast of Scotland . Maxwell bought the island of Soay in 1945. And set out to create an alternative fishery .But with no infrastructure in place to deal with the catch , and no real knowledge of how to go about catching the sharks , the problems he has are almost inevitable . However the tale is laced with anecdotes and local colour which are the true magic of the story . Maxwell went on to be much more famous With his book ( A Ring Of Bright Water ) But for fishermen or anyone with a love of the west coast this is the one I would recommend

Good starting point- and one day I will, 2008-02-05
This is an enthusiastic slim volume which I feel serves as a succint introduction to keeping what seem to be the holy grail of tropical fish, the Discus. Lots of lovely glossy pictures of the many colour variations grace its covers.

Unlike most dated fish books which seem to have been written purely by breeders and contain very little information for people who want to know their habits, Sweeney presents you with useful snippets. For instance- pay careful attention to what type of driftwood you use as although discus adore it, they are prone to skewering themselves on pointy bits if startled. She also kindly says about sexing discus "we can't. Don't bother your head about it. The fish know exactly who is male and who is female."

She gives you a good outline on adjusting water chemistry and temperature variations. Sadly she confirmed what I'd previously been told, that our high temperature loving huge plec (gift fish who's grown 4 inches- nuff said) would NOT be a good companion -he sucked an angel fish to death and the discus's gooey sides (they stick their young there for safe keeping) would definitely be too much of a gummy bear temptation.

Glad I bought it- but I'm still puzzling about how to accomodate our graceful but pain in the neck plectostomus, Richard Fish.

An excellent addition to your fish books, 2010-01-17
This is without a doubt one of the best fish books I have bought, a worthy addition to anyones fish book colection if you are planning getting or already have fish. If you want to know more about fish, why they live the way they do and the environment they live in then buy this book. It starts off with the biology of a fish, blood circulation, muscles, breathing and more. It then moves onto water chemistry, pH, water hardness, oxygen, the nitrogen cycle. Then the bulk of the book is about fish diseases with clear descriptions and full colour photos. This is a must buy.

he knows his stuff!!!, 2001-06-06
the author has put together a variety of species both common, and not so common, in a colourful and informative package. His depth of knowledge clearly leaves other similar titles behind!! Myself, being a novice in fish keeping found this book very helpful in not just defining species but care and maintenance also. I am very pleased with this purchase

trees:their use management, cultivation and biology, a complete guide, 2010-07-11
A tremendous reference book for anyone working with or around trees. All aspects are covered in a manageable way. My only slight critic would be the line drawings could be of better quality but they add to the feel that this book is addtional college lecture - it works, you can half imagine the author at the blackboard explaining and drawing at the same time. 10 out of 10
