Alan Powderham is a very good macro photographer The pictures are chosen and grouped for good reason in this case by animal types and the words, though few, are carefully chosen nuggets of information that indicate original thought and leave the reader thinking they could be worth remembering I reckon most observers of marine-life will enjoy it, and underwater photographers especially so.
