Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Beautifully written and illustrated."---Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today
"This is a really excellent book. Please take the time to read it and get to know some of Planet Earth's most absorbing creatures. You'll be glad you did."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds
"This book is a wonderful introduction to octopuses and their relations . . . . Great pleasure can be obtained by just opening at random, being amazed by whatever stunning cephalopod you find an image of, and learning about it."---Angela Colling, Ocean Challenge
"The author has a compelling writing style, though you could buy this book only to look at the pictures, because the quality of underwater photography is impressive. . . . Staaf covers a lot of ground with a light touch, and this is a book I would happily read and revisit."---Steve Weinman, Divernet
"This book covers a lot of ground but does so in an extremely accessible way. Whether you are searching for information about a specific species or just browsing, you will end up spending hours pouring over the images and the astonishing facts about these charismatic animals."---Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown​​​​​​​, Scubaverse
"[Beautifully] illustrated. . . . A must read for anyone interested in the lives of these intelligent and diverse creatures."---L.T. Spencer, Choice
"[An] entertaining and enlightening read."---Geoff Carpentier, North Durham Nature Newsletter
