A magnificent reference, providing comprehensive and authoritative coverage of reef-building corals at species, genera and family levels. Non-technical summaries of the distinguishing characters of all taxa are given with information about the colours, habitats and abundances of all species. 1,000 distribution maps, generated from verified published records, research and underwater sightings are included, along with over 3,000 underwater photographs covering all the major coral reef regions of the world portraying the variety and the beauty of corals as never before. A landmark volume, unlikely ever to be surpassed.
