Mustard (author of Art of Diving and — well-deserved — BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year) asserts that these color photos have not been enhanced in darkroom or on-screen. We find this challenges credibility: can natural-light filter photography capture such colors? However they've been done, the 200 plates display fantastic colors and also demonstrate the patience required of a wildlife photographer. Shooting sites include the Red Sea, Indian & Pacific oceans South-East Asia, the Caribbean; subjects are the animals that live in and around reefs. Constable is a UK publisher; it seems that no American publisher is copublishing this title. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
