JELLYFISH: A NATURAL HISTORY

by Lisa-Ann Gershwin

Published by Ivy Press. 1st. 2016

Slightly better than very good condition. Colour pictorial boards. Packed with stunning photographs, this book examines the anatomy, taxonomy, behaviour, ecology and lifecycles of these incredible creatures and profiles fifty of the most notable and intriguing - from the tiny Immortal Jellyfish to the enormous Nomura's Giant Jellyfish.

Small knocks to top and tail of spine and corners. Contents are still fine!
