Constable publishing in the United Kingdom has recently released a new hardback book titled Reefs Revealed, featuring images and text by marine biologist Alexander Mustard. 

Best known to FiNS Magazine readers for his Talking Megapixels column, Alex has painstakingly put together a beautiful collection of over 150 images spanning the coral reefs of the world, including photographs from the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Southeast Asian waters, and the Caribbean. Moreover, reflecting his background as a marine biologist, Alex’s incisive text explains the value of reefs and explores many of the intricate relationships to be found in this unique and precarious environment. 

Testament to the quality of the book is the fact that Reefs Revealed received the prestigious Prix Mondial Du Livre D’ Image Sous-Marine (World Prize for Underwater Photo Books) at the 2007 Festival Mondial de L’Image Sous-Marine in Antibes, France, following in the footsteps of FiNS Magazine contributors Tony Wu, Andrea and Antonella Ferrari, and Mirko Zanni. 

Reefs Revealed measures 310 x 245mm and is available through through Amazon and Amazon UK. Order a copy for yourself, and send one to a friend!
