The wider biological background is explained in a sequence of lucidly structured, superbly illustrated chapters.
The authors have perfectly succeeded in writing a book for
students and researchers as well as for lay readers interested in
marine zoology. This comprehensive treatment of the most exotic
group of marine molluscs is likely to become indispensible reading
for zoology classes at undergraduate and graduate levels. Above all
it is a very rich source of information, a true vademecum for
anyone interested in squid, cuttlefish and octopus."
Vie et Milieu, 2006
"This book provides a thorough review of this most important
animal group.
This comprehensive and well-illustrated book is essential
reading for marine biologists, zoologists, ecologists and fisheries
managers."
CAB Abstracts, 2006
"This is a fascinating book, providing for fish
biologists a readable and comprehensive review of a parallel and
rival universe of cephalopod adaptiveness, life-style and
significance in marine ecosystems. It is undoubtedly an essential
text and reference."
Journal of Fish Biology, 2006
"For many years to come, this book will surely be essential
reading not only for cephalopod biologists, but for anyone
interested in marine biology, ecology, and fisheries
science."
Quarterly Review of Biology, 2006
'This book is a good starting point for any student
interested in studying cephalopods. It also gives those that
specialise in a particular area of cephalopod research a broad
overview of other areas that they may know little or nothing
about'
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology,
2007
'It is a well presented book that uses an abundance of graphs
and diagrams to illustrate the text, maps to show lifecycle
migration, colour photos to show composite satellite images of
fishing lights and to illustrate the use of camouflage. Key
morphological characters that can be used to identify
cephalopods'
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology,
2007
'I recommend that everyone with an interest in cephalopods
reads this book from beginning to end because one will find
information of interest to them that they would not think to look
for'
