Fish face : portraits

The world's oceans are one of the last great largely unexplored places on earth.

They teem with life some of it familiar and some of it strange to us and "Fish Face" takes us closer to the fish that live here.

Showing full-page pictures of close up portraits of their faces, the book takes us from the beautiful to the ugly, from spiky to rotund.

The huge variety of species is appealing and astounding.

The book takes a look at the work of David Doubilet, widely acclaimed as the world's leading underwater photographer.

He has photographed fish for over 25 years and "Fish Face" looks at the most colourful, fun and bizarre fish he has encountered.

This book should appeal to anyone who has ever wondered about the variety of fish living in our oceans and to naturalists and photographers alike.
