Visitors to South-East Asia are astonished at the profusion of marine life that exists in this biodiversity hot-spot. This easy-to-follow field guide to 270 species of fish, corals and marine invertebrates is suitable for those interested in this underwater world, from the casual snorkeller to the experienced diver.

It is fascinating to read about how people cooked and lived in the days when there was no electricity, freezers, tinned food or any of the things available now to make life easier. Researching this book brought me so much closer to my ancestors and helped me to understand them better.

Explores human relationships to objects, shows what museums can learn from them, and offers practical tools and exercises for using objects to create richer visitor experiences.

Subtidal Ecology, originally published in 1987, gives a comprehensive overview of the characteristic features of the shallow sublittoral and the marine life it supports. Exploitation of coastal sea resources, as well as waste disposal and pollution, are issues of importance: their emphasis here completes a fascinating subtidal picture.
