Freshwater Life

"Freshwater Life" - the first illustrated field guide of its kind for the wider southern African region - describes a vast range of aquatic plant and animal groups in a single volume. This ground-breaking publication encompasses diverse groups from the large and conspicuous vertebrates to the diverse microscopic taxa, facilitating identification and describing the ecology of more than 1,000 freshwater organisms.
Species have been selected on the basis of how likely they are to be encountered, and each account is accompanied by photographs and a distribution map. A comprehensive introduction details the ecology and significance of freshwater systems. This indispensable, easy-to-use guide will prove invaluable to outdoor enthusiasts, students and conservationists.
