Coral Seas by Roger Steene. Published by Firefly Books. ISBN 1-55209-290-9. Recommended retail price $50.00, our price $47.00.

I have written previously about my admiration for Roger Steene's photographs. I think it takes an underwater photographer to truly appreciate how wonderful these shots are. Even a jaundiced public, used to great wildlife shots, will be impressed with this collection.

This book is a must for every Marine Biologist, everyone who teaches Marine Biology, and in fact anyone who loves nature. There are over 340 color photographs in this collection and every one is a tribute to Steene's amazing ability to find things and his superlative dive and photographic skills. Every time I pick this book up it makes me want to go diving.

In addition, there are a series of microscope shots of the wonderful world of the plankton. Many of these species have never before been photographed. In the non-microscopic arena check out the bobbit worm and the incredible mimic octopus. Hard cover, 288 pages. Published 1998.

Crustacea: Guide of the World by Helmut Debelius. Published by Ikan. Recommended retail price $44.95.

It doesn't matter whether you are diving the kelp forests of Monterey, New Zealand's dark and forbidding fiords, the Seychelles or the Barrier Reef, this book will help you identify an unknown crustacean. There are over 1000 color photos of crabs, shrimps, mantis shrimps, lobsters, isopods, amphipods and pycnogonids.

“Genetic engineering is forever”, “Most technologies can be used to evil effect as well as for good”, “There is not a single recorded case of a consumer being adversely affected by eating a GM food”, “Fraught with difficulty and economically foolhardy”, “Agriculture will be adversely affected if gene technologies are not used”, “Who profits?”, “The current achievements of genetic therapy are extremely modest”, “A major boon associated with little if any risk”, “Equivalent to mass medications without informed consent” What do you think?

We are in the midst of a genetic engineering revolution making drastic and unprecedented changes to the basic elements of life. It affects our food, health, environment and our economic future.

Is it a horrifying experiment?

Is it a solution to our problems?

This book offers in depth insight into the issues, facts and myths about the genetic revolution. It draws on experts from all sides of the debate to give you the knowledge and understanding you need to have informed opinions about GE – and have your say on an issue that affects us all.

Earth, A Speck of Dust by Keith Wilson. Published by National Pacific Press. ISBN 095824488X. Recommended retail price $20.95.

How many planets have intelligent life?
How can we communicate with other civilizations in the universe?
Do UFOs exist, and why would they visit us?
Which planet will we colonize first?
Are we merely specks of dust living on a speck of dust?

These are just some of the fascinating topics covered by Keith Wilson in Earth, a Speck of Dust. In a refreshingly light-hearted fashion the author asks, and attempts to answer, the things we have all wondered about when looking up at the night sky. An absorbing and entertaining presentation of facts and theories, illustrated by more than 120 of the author’s own drawings – an astronomy book with a difference!

There is an exciting and thought-provoking book which considers the future as well as the past.
-- H. Walter Jones Jr. M.D., Chief of Medicine, MIT Cambridge, USA (retired)

This book is an outstanding effort – it is clear, witty and exciting. Best of all are the sketches, which keep the reader rushing from page to page.
-- Rowland Richards, Professor of Engineering, University of Buffalo, New York

Many of us will enjoy and be mystified by Keith Wilson’s exploration of that eternal question: “Yes, but what is there further out than that?”

Ecomyth: Challenging the dogma and ideology of the international 'green' movement by Lance Kennedy. Published by Dunmore Press.ISBN 0864694415. Recommended retail price $21.95.

Is our ecology in crisis? Are we poisoning ourselves with GM foods? Is it better to go organic? Are we drowning the globe in toxic chemicals? Will global warming destroy life on Earth? What, really, should we do to feed the starving millions, and save our forests and wildlife? Should we discard modern technology and return to a simpler and more natural way of life?

Lance Kennedy looks at these issues which are crucial to our future, and using detailed and critical thinking, delivers a new, more optimistic, message. Our planet is, in fact, prospering under the management of 21st -century science and technology: forests are expanding; wildlife is multiplying; we are feeding more people more completely than ever before; genetic engineering is not only safe, but brimming with potential to help build a better future; organic food is a con; synthetic chemicals are safer than ever and global warming has been enormously exaggerated. Mmmm ... do you believe all this? It is patently obvious that  some wildlife is not multiplying ... try being an orange roughy or a patagonian toothfish. But it is always good to have a balance to the eco-nazis who cry wolf. There is much commonsense in this book and it should  make many environmentalists evaluate their views... .

Fishes of the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea by Jack Randall, Gerry Allen and Roger Steene. Published by University of Hawai'i Press. Recommended retail price $85, our price $75.

Like Veron’s Corals of the Indo-Pacific this book is the bible for divers, aquarists, naturalists or even professional ichthyologists working in this region of incredible diversity. Over 1200 species are described and most of them are illustrated in color. I use this as my foremost fish identification source.

Roger Steene is one of the world’s best underwater photographers while Gerry Allen and Jack Randall (both professional ichthyologists) are no slouches with a camera either. Highly recommended. Hard cover, 557 pages.

Nudibranchs and Sea Snails: Indo-Pacific Field Guide by Helmut Debelius. Published by Ikan. ISBN 3925919511. Recommended retail price $40.

This excellent field guide contains over 1000 color photographs of marine snails taken in their natural environment. Useful information is given to help you confirm your identifications. As nearly all of these photographs were taken in the field it is possible to see the live animal which really enhances identification as shells are often worn and bear little resemblance to a shell collectors cabinet. Helmut Debelius has published several brilliant marine guides and we are proud to carry several of them. Hard cover, 321 pages. Published in 2004.

Parrots: A Guide to the Parrots of the World by Tony Juniper and Mike Parr. Published by Pica Press. ISBN 1-873403-40-2. Recommended retail price $75, our price $70.

There is not a lot of justification for offering this book on our website aside from the fact I like it. But with nearly half of the world's parrot species confined to the Australian region that makes sense of sorts. Besides, when did anyone ever need a justification to sell a great book?

As the title suggests, this encyclopedic book covers all of the world's 350 parrot species. It covers them in 584 pages with identification notes, voice, distribution and status, ecology, description, sex/age, measurements, geographic variation and references for each species. If you are interested in parrots then this is the book for you. If you are a bird lover, this is the book for you. If you are a nature lover ... well you get the idea. Hard cover, 584 pages, published in 1998.

Possums of the World: A Monograph of the Phalangeroidea by Timothy Flannery and illustrated by Peter Schouten. Published by Geo Productions in conjunction with the Australian Museum. ISBN 0-646-14389-1. Recommended retail price $ 40.

First, a word of explanation. By a not-widely accepted convention it has become customary to refer to Australasian opossums as possums and New World opossums as opossums. Therefore, this book is about the Australasian possums.

Possums are tree-dwelling marsupials which are confined to the Australasian region, especially Australia and New Guinea. Most subsist on a vegetarian diet of leaves or various plant products such as nectar and sap, but there are several insect eaters in the group. Some members of the group - the gliders - can sail from tree to tree on furry membranes stretched between their limbs. Some possums are urban animals, familiar even to many city-dwelling Australians; others inhabit regions so remote that almost nothing is known of their habits - a few in fact, are so obscure that they have only recently been discovered.

Possums are mentioned in documents dating from as early as the sixteenth century, mostly from the explorers, traders and administrators involved in the early days of the spice trade in what was then the East Indies. Scientific examination came somewhat later, but possums were observed and studied by the botanist Sir Joseph Banks at the Endeavour River in northern Queensland in 1770 when Captain James Cook made his famous unscheduled stopover to repair the damage to his ship sustained in its pioneer passage through the Great Barrier Reef.

Recent years have seen vigorous scientific study of possums, both within Australia and overseas, in the field, the museum and the laboratory. At the same time, some significant finds have been made in the fossil beds of Riversleigh and elsewhere, shedding new light on the history and development of the group.

Now the fruits of all this research are surveyed in the first-ever monograph of the group. In this magnificent book, Tim Flannery brings together all that is known of this group of engaging mammals. Superb color plates portray all sixty species and most subspecies. These paintings were prepared by Peter Schouten in close collaboration with the author. each illustration is of a particular specimen, its registration number included in the captions for the plates. Each portrays the animal in its typical habitat, portrayed with careful attention to botanical detail.

The result is both a technical monograph of enduring significance to all mammalogists and lovers of wildlife, and at the same time an artists sensitive and meticulous celebration of one of the most fascinating and attractive group of mammals to be found anywhere.

Most of the above was taken from the dust jacket blurb. These are always flowery and full of superlatives but I have to agree with everything above. This is a superb book and I absolutely have to have a copy of my own. Hard cover, 240 pages. Published in 1994.

Reef and Shore Fishes of the South Pacific: New Caledonia to Tahiti and the Pitcairn Islands by John E. Randall. ISBN 0824826981. Published by the University of Hawai'i Press. Recommended retail price $75, our price $70.

The South Pacific has long been in need of a comprehensive guide to reef and short fishes. This volume covers the inshore fish fauna of New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands, the southern Gilbert Islands (Kiribati), Tuvalu, Fiji, the Wallis Islands, Tonga, Samoa, American Samoa, the Tokelau Islands, the Phoenix Islands, the Cook Islands, the Austral Islands, Rapa, the Society Islands, the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Marquesas Islands, and the Pitcairn Islands. It contains accounts of 1,496 species of fishes, illustrated with more than 2,000 color photographs, taken mostly underwater.

Species accounts are headed by the English common name, the scientific name, the author or authors who described the fish, and the date of the description. This is followed by a concise list of the characteristics needed to identify the species, the total length it attains, its distribution, habitat, and in summary form what may be known of its biology. More than 600 references are given for those seeking more information on individual species. The introduction contains a two-page color spread of main external features of fishes. An extensive glossary of scientific terms precedes the idex.

This volume will become the benchmark and bible for anyone interested in the fishes of the South Pacific. Snorklers and scuba divers will find it especially useful; virtually every known species of fish they might encounter can be found within its covers.

John (Jack) E. Randall, the world's foremost authority on tropical marine fishes, has described 555 new coral-reef fishes - more than anyone else in history. He has authored 635 publications in marine biology, including regional guides to the fishes of the Caribbean Sea, Hawaiian Islands, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Oman, Maldive Islands and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Since 1970 he has been senior ichthyologist at Bishop Musuem in Honolulu. Hard cover, 707 pages. Published in 2005.

Reef Fish Identification: Tropical Pacific by Gerald Allen, Roger Steene, Paul Humann and Ned Deloach. Published by New Word Publications & Odyssey Publishing. ISBN 1878348361. Recommended retail price $45.

Finally, a comprehensive fish identification guide covering the fish-rich reefs of the Pacific. 2,500 underwater photographs of 2,000 species from four of the best marine life authors/photographers in the business. Their collaboration makes it possible for underwater naturalists to identify fishes from Thailand to Tahiti with a single, compact, easy-to-use, no-nonsense reference. 108 fish families are presented in one of 20 Identification groups based on a familys' related visual or behavioral characteristics, such as LargeOval/Colorul or Sand/Burrow Dwellers. Likewise, every effort has been made to group similar appearing species together. This format may be a little disconcerting to begin with for the experienced fish watcher but with time proves quick and useful. For the beginner, who doesn't know one fish family from another, this format makes complete sense. I've just used this book on a recent dive trip to Fiji and found it very useful. Soft cover, 452 pages. Published in 2004.

Splendors of the Seas: The Photographs of Norbert Wu by Norbert Wu. Published by Hugh Lauter Levin Associates. ISBN 0-88363-958-0. Recommended retail price $60, our price $40.

I started copying the dust jacket blurb but decided it was an insult to your intelligence. If you are in the market for this book you'll probably already know and recognize Norbert's photographic talents. If you don't, then let me mention that Norbert is probably amongst the world's top ten underwater photographers as this collection of shots from all over the world shows.

He's a self-deprecating type. Here's how the book begins:

"Most people are a little disappointed when they first meet me. Instead of an athletic. macho, rum-soaked descendant of Blackbeard, they find instead a short, round, rotund, Asian man, hardly the sort of person most people envision doing battle with sharks and whales. However, other divers afflicted with the disease of dunking expensive cameras into salt water love talking to me. They figure that if a puny guy like me can make a living as an underwater photographer, anyone can do it. And they are absolutely right. I use the same equipment and film as most serious amateurs, and my relatives do not include anyone with the surname of Cousteau or Trump."

Yes, well. You be the judge. Hard cover, 252 pages, published in 1994.

Sulawesi Seas: Indonesia’s Magnificent Underwater Realm by Mike Severns. Recommended retail price $60, our price $55.

Okay, we know that Indonesia isn’t in the Pacific but we just couldn’t resist this superb book by Mike Severns. Over 150 luscious photos from North Sulawesi are featured. If you are a diver, graphic designer, or naturalist there is much in this book for you. I was particularly drawn to photos of species I haven’t seen previously. For me the standout is the photo of a one and a half inch pink anglerfish propped next to two deep green ascidians. Highly recommended. Hard cover, 160 pages.

Wayside Plants of the Islands: A Guide to the lowland Flora of the Pacific Islands by Arthur Whistler. Recommended retail price $19.95, our price $18.75.

Dr. Arthur Whistler (Art to his friends and no doubt his enemies too) has spent over 25 years making botanical excursions to various islands of the Pacific to collect and identify plants. I was fortunate enough to accompany him on a six weekend lowland ecosystem survey in Samoa. Art knew all of the plants on sight.

Wayside Plants of the Islands includes color photos of 170 of the most common of lowland species together with descriptions and other useful information (such as the local name). Because many of these species range beyond the islands, this book would be useful for a visitor to any part of the tropics. Soft cover, 202 pages.

Whales and dolphins: Cetacean World Guide by Ralf Kiefner. Published by Ikan. ISBN 3925919589. Recommended retail price $49.95.

Another of the superb books by Ikan on marine subjects. This volume includes over 500 photographs of whales and dolphins from all over the world. As well as being an identification guide there are many first person encounters with whales including a heart-rending story of a youg female blue whale being attacked and ultimately killed by bull sharks in New Caledonia. Some of the photos are quite superb. Memorable for me is a picture of ten or so dolphins surfing a wave in South Africa. Hard cover, 305 pages. Published in 2002.

Where to watch birds in Australasia and Oceania by Nigel Wheatley. Published by Princeton University Press. Recommended retail price $55.
This book describes over 200 major bird watching sites in detail and many more in passing, from New Guinea to New Zealand and across the Pacific to Hawai’i. In those instances where Paddy has been able to check on its accuracy it passes muster. While it will not replace the experience and advice of local observers it provides amateur ornithologists with a wonderful start.

Where to watch birds in Australasia and Oceania answers crucial questions you find yourself asking before you go: Where can I see birds that characterize the region? Which country supports the best cross-section of species and the most endemics and which sites do I need to visit to see most of them? How long do I need, and when is the best time to go?

General introductions to each country are followed by site details, which include bird lists under the headings ‘Endemics’, ‘Specialities’ and ‘Others’, a list of other wildlife if applicable, and up-to-date information on where to look for particular species. Over 100 maps and 50 line drawings complement the text. Hard cover, 448 pages.
