Hailed as the single most important reference on reef corals, this book describes corals in all areas of Oceania and Southeast Asia. It provides a means of identifying almost 1,000 species of coral, a reliable nomenclature, up-to-date information on distribution and abundance, and authoritative notes on structure and biology.
"In terms of scientific accuracy and quality of illustrations, this work . . . sets a standard that will be hard to follow."
