A strikingly illustrated photographic identification guide to sea slugs in all their colourful variety Nudibranchs, or sea slugs, are a group of marine gastropod molluscs whose adults lack shells, an evolutionary loss that has led to a wide variety of body shapes, colours and colour patterns, making them popular with divers and underwater photographers. In this book, experienced nudibranch experts Bernard Picton and Christine Morrow provide an accessible and authoritative photographic identification guide for anyone interested in finding and identifying nudibranchs in the coastal waters of Britain, Ireland and Northwest Europe. <ul> <li>Covers more than 195 species, each on its own two-page spread</li> <li>Includes in situ photos to aid finding nudibranchs under water and on the shore</li> <li>Features photos of nudibranchs' distinctive spawn coils and studio photos showing detailed anatomy</li> <li>Presents key distinguishing features and essential information on size, habitat, diet and distribution</li> </ul>

This book sets out the function of a forensic pathologist in society, describing their relationship to the police, the coroners and the universities. Written under a pseudonym by a practising full-time pathologist and ex-Home Office consultant, the "inside story" is given for the first time of this macabre, yet vital profession.

Sea squirts and sponges are found in most seafloor habitats around the coasts of Britain and Ireland. Despite being the dominant life forms in many areas, these two groups of under-recorded marine animals are often confused with one another, and most divers and snorkellers can recognise and name very few species. In fact, around 500 species of Ascidiacea (sea squirts) and Porifera (sponges) have been described so far in British and Irish seas, corresponding to over 4% of the world's total. This book is recommended reading for anyone who wants to identify and discover more about these fascinating and diverse animals. Rather than relying on the characteristics of preserved specimens, this guide uses marine photography and detailed underwater observations to concentrate on in situ features, allowing you to record species without collecting them. Most sea squirts found in Britain and Ireland's shallow waters are included, together with the most easily recognised sponges. Whether you are a student, a diver, a rockpooler or simply an enthusiast, this is an essential companion. &#9679; Over 115 species described in detail with in situ photographs to help with underwater recognition &#9679; Information on size, depth, habitat and distribution &#9679; Key distinguishing features and areas of confusion in identification highlighted &#9679; Details of body structure, life histories, digestive and reproductive processes &#9679; Information about predators, interactions between species, non-native and problem invasive species
