Trade Review
"Paul Humphries is team leader of the river ecology group at Charles Sturt University; clearly he is highly qualified to write this book, but equally he is a beautiful writer." * Ian Fraser's Natural History Reviews #32 *
"If you have ever wanted to know anything about Australia’s largest fish species, the Murray Cod, this is the book for you. […] This study is natural history writing at its best. It is erudite and articulate, but never hard to understand. " -- Gary Presland * The Victorian Naturalist, Vol 140 (6) *
