Dieter Eichlers Tropical Marinelife is a handy 200-page reference book for marine animal-spotters diving in waters with life common to the Indian Ocean. The German-language version has already sold more than 50,000 copies and this is an exceedingly well-organised and workmanlike book. Listed phylum by phylum, each animal is described by physical characteristics, location, way of life, food, and reproduction. This information is comprehensive and accompanied by colour photographs which are obviously chosen for their clarity and the information they contain rather than for their artistic merit. It is not a volume intended to fire you with enthusiasm for the underwater world but a functional tool, and comes with a removable water-resistant cover.
