Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), xi, 390 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Fascinating, ancient in origin, and among the most abundant creatures in the ocean, echinoderms (from the Greek for "spiny skins") are often brilliantly colored and intricately ornamented, with a five-part symmetry that is unique in the animal kingdom. For centuries the attractive dried skeletons of sea stars (starfish), sand dollars, and sea urchins, readily collected along the seashore, have graced curio collections. Echinoderms are critical components of the marine environment worldwide, but are most diverse in tropical regions, particularly coral reefs. This is the first comprehensive guide to the identification and natural history of the five classes of echinoderms (sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins, feather stars, and sea cucumbers) of the Florida Keys, Bahama Islands, and Caribbean. For more than 150 species of echinoderms found at scuba depths (less than 100 feet) detailed information is provided about appearance and identification, life history, habitat, and distribution. Within each class of echinoderms, the species are organized by family, then alphabetically according to genus and species. Written by four internationally recognized experts in the field, this indispensable reference includes more than 130 exquisite color photographs, most depicting living echinoderms in their natural habitats, as well as helpful black-and-white photographs and detailed drawings. The authors provide tips on finding, handling, preserving, and photographing echinoderms, as well as a glossary for the nonspecialist reader. While primary coverage is limited to the Florida-Bahamas platform, 80 percent of the echinoderm species that inhabit shallow, subtropical, or tropical waters of the western Atlantic north of Brazil are treated in detail, making this guide useful throughout the Caribbean region and the Gulf of Mexico. Sea Stars, Sea Urchins, and Allies is a valuable reference for scientists in a variety of fields, as well as divers, beachcombers, and amateur naturalists.
