Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A nice book with beautiful color photosBy Reader2This is a very nice; albeit; short book detailing the history of the Great Barrier Reef. It starts with a color photo of a giant clam on the reef. That's followed by a page about the Charles Rivers Editors. After that there's an introduction that tells you exactly what the Great Barrier Reef is and where it is. (Just in case you didn't know.) The next page is the Table of Contents and it is integrated with the book. There are 5 chapters and a bibliography.Chapter 1: The history of the Great Barrier Reef starts with James Cook's exploration of the area in 1770. There's a color photo of Captain Cook and two color photos of his ship; the HMS Endeavour. The first photo is of a replica of Cook's ship and the second photo is an illustration depicting the ship. At the end of this chapter; there are two aerial photos of parts of the reef.Chapter 2: This chapter pertains to Captain Matthew Flinders and others who sailed around the Great Barrier Reef. In addition to the photo of Flinders; there are several beautiful color photos of sea life in this section. (A clownfish; a blue starfish resting on coral; and a crown-of-thorns starfish)Chapter 3: This chapter is about naturalist; Joseph Beete Jukes; who was charged with investigating the geological character of the Great Barrier Reef. In addition to the history and photo of Jukes; there are photos of; coral Turbinaria Mesenteriana; orange sun coral; corals of various colors; lizardfish and sponges on the reef; banded coral shrimp; two photos of Lady Elliot Island and the surrounding reef; reef stonefish; Crescent-tail Bigeyes swimming along the reef; an aerial view of One-Tree Island; aerial photos of Heron Island; Anemonefish among the coral; and an Amphiprion akindynos among the coral.Chapter 4: This chapter is about the Torres Straits. This section starts to address the damage done to the coral as a result of human activity. There are photos of author; Saville-Kent; sea turtles; Surf Redfish; Balistoides viridescens; Torresian Imperial pigeons; and a rainbow bee-eater;Chapter 5: This chapter covers the modern world and what's needed for the Great Barrier Reef to survive and thrive. There are photos of a striped surgeonfish; a starry puffer; a humble sponge; and a dugong;As usual with the books by Charles River Editors; the history is short but interesting and the photos are beautiful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Love the Charles River Editors conceptBy Paul A. Guthrie; Jr.Love the Charles River Editors concept. Their execution is sometimes spotty; but always worth the read. Quick peeks at history...if your interest is piqued (sorry); you can look further. Not sure that the subject was appropriate for the Charles River format.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. EXCELLENTBy BAARDAThis ebook is very well done; lots of pictures.
