Superb full-colour photographs illustrate the undersea world of the Red Sea coast in this very superior coffee-table style book. Schmid, well known for his previous work on the marine life of the region, has here collected together, with brief text annotations, what he considers to be the finest assemblage of photos yet produced in one volume. Produced to raise awareness of the fragile ecosystems along the coast, it stands as a testament of the rich wildlife to be found there.
