If you’ve been reading The Well-read Naturalist for very long, you’ve likely discovered that one of my favourite authors presently writing on the subject of marine biology is the very aptly-named Dr. Helen Scales. From her “Spirals in Time” and “Poseidon’s Steed” to her “Eye of the Shoal” and “The Brilliant Abyss,” I’ve found myself repeatedly delighted by both what I’ve learned as well as how much I enjoyed learning it through her lively and superbly wrought writing. Now to these she has added a new book to share her knowledge and love of the sea and the creatures within it with her readers: “Around the Ocean in 80 Fish & Other Sea Life.”
