This title features seventy-five detailed watercolour portraits, combined with descriptions of appearance, lifestyle, and suggestions for their placement in natural aquariums. The fishes natural habitats are described along with the threats those environments face in the Americas, Africa and Australasia. Habitat maps and a glossary of scientific aquatic terms round the book's overview.
Críticas: "In addition to its intricately-detailed and instantly memorable painting works, this is simply a gorgeous piece of publishing...and a great way of remembering what's endangered in our fragile world these days. No matter whether one's loved ones are tropical fish lovers or not, this is the very definition of a conversation-starting and hours-dawdling coffee table book." --Paul Smart, Woodstock Times "Like a modern-day aquatic version of John James Audubon, Hudson Valley-based artist Flick Ford creates vividly accurate watercolors of fish that capture every subtlety and nuance of his subject matter, straddling that overlap among a scientist's appreciation for precise detail, a naturalist's passion for preservation of species and an artist's relish for aesthetic beauty."--Hudson Valley Almanac Weekly In addition to its intricately-detailed and instantly memorable painting works, this is simply a gorgeous piece of publishing and a great way of remembering what s endangered in our fragile world these days.
