Darwin's Fishes : An Encyclopedia of Ichthyology, Ecology, and Evolution
Editorial Reviews
Review
'This is an engaging book ... The reader can create his or her own stream of consciousness by following the asterisks or turning to literature citations ... an entertaining book with useful details ...'. Trends in Ecology and Evolution
'... wonderful fun to dip into, even randomly. It is an eclectic, scholarly reference work, rich in historical content and chock full of interesting quotes from Darwin and Pauly alike. Pauly has an engaging writing style and is not afraid to use humour and self-deprecation.' Nature
'Some books are good for browsing. Darwin's Fishes is designed expressly for it; and very pleasing and useful it is.' Institute of Biology
Book Description
Presenting everything Charles Darwin ever wrote about fishes and many more topics, the entries in this encyclopedia are arranged alphabetically and extracted from Darwin's books, short publications, notebooks and correspondence. Readers can start wherever they like and are then led by a series of cross-references directly or indirectly to Darwin's original writings. The material is interpreted in the context of Darwin's time as well as of contemporary biology.
