註釋"This spectacular new book of underwater macrophotography by Dos Winkel presents nature's most extreme paint palette - that of the world's coral reefs. As Jean-Michel Cousteau writes in the Foreword, "The ocean is a fabulous kaleidoscope of abstract shapes, brilliant colours, iridescent reflectin, undulating textures, and sometimes bizzare patterns.'Dos Winkel's photographs focus on the incredible colours, patterns and textures to be found - but more often missed - on coral reefs. Technical information on the tools and techniques used is provided and each image is captioned with the subjects common and Latin names, size, location and depth where photographed, as well as more general information.The accompanying text, by the Executive Director of Coral Resource Management, Kalli De Meyer, provides detailed information about the formation of the reefs, the huge variety of organisms that make their life on, and often give life to, the reefs. It explains how crucial the reefs are to the well-being of not only the islands protected by them, but also the world as a whole. It identifies the threats to them and suggests how they can be saved.Another World will appeal to a wide range of readers - aquarists, divers, photographers and even textile designers, not to mention, of course, anyone interested in nature and nature conservation." -- Book jacket.
