Critics Review
”[This book] is the work of three distinguished marine biologists with a passion for their subjects. All have vast experience around the world and it shows. The focus of this book is the British Isles but expertise and knowledge gained internationally raises the bar… . You may never look at a crab the same way again!”—David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds
“A welcome new addition to the Seasearch guides that have proved so helpful to British and Irish divers over the years … . Features great photos … . Every crustacean gets its own detailed description plus key features and guides to similar species, abundance and distribution.”—Steve Weinman, Divernet
“This guide boasts the usual excellent production and top-quality photography that readers have come to expect from the Seasearch series… . The authors have done an excellent job of pulling together current information on all featured species, from a range of disparate sources, and thoughtfully presenting it in a way most helpful for marine naturalists navigating the challenges of crustacean ID. Lavishly illustrated, the book is a pleasure to browse, and is thoroughly recommended for anyone spending time in – or close – to the sea.”—Guy Freeman, British Wildlife
