Excerpt from Life on the Lagoons In preparing this new edition of Life on the Lagoons, I have re-written the chapter upon the structure of the Venetian estuary, and have added a very brief history of those who made it their home. I trust that this condensed account of the Venetian Republic may prove useful to those who visit the City in the Lagoons. I have also included some description of the restorations which have recently been carried out at the Ducal Palace, based upon information furnished to me by the architect in charge of the works. The addition of illustrations to the book will, it is hoped, prove acceptable. Those chapters in the first edition which referred chiefly to the mainland of Venetia have been omitted, with a view to concentrating the work upon the city of Venice; they may, perhaps, be utilised, some day, in a companion book upon the cities, villages, and castles of the Veneto.

The second edition of The Diversity of Fishes represents a major revision of the world’s most widely adopted ichthyology textbook. Expanded and updated, the second edition is illustrated throughout with striking color photographs depicting the spectacular evolutionary adaptations of the most ecologically and taxonomically diverse vertebrate group. The text incorporates the latest advances in the biology of fishes, covering taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, biogeography, ecology, and behavior. A new chapter on genetics and molecular ecology of fishes has been added, and conservation is emphasized throughout. Hundreds of new and redrawn illustrations augment readable text, and every chapter has been revised to reflect the discoveries and greater understanding achieved during the past decade. Written by a team of internationally-recognized authorities, the first edition of The Diversity of Fishes was received with enthusiasm and praise, and incorporated into ichthyology and fish biology classes around the globe, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The second edition is a substantial update of an already classic reference and text.
