Customer Reviews

An outstanding guide in all respects

This volume contains all you could ever need or want to know (and more!) about the history, Victorian to modern day, of the world's aquaria and oceanaria. It spans the globe entire, from the displays at the Crystal Palace to the Osaka Ring of Fire and its resident whale sharks! An awesome volume, with a handy guide to most of the world's internationally renowned marine centres. And who better to write a book on aquaria than Leighton Taylor, the man who discovered the Megamouth Shark?
