From the reviews:
“Coral Reefs of the United Kingdom Overseas Territories gives a broad overview of the eight major UK overseas territories … . A beautiful book which I can recommend to teachers, interested students and libraries.” (Branko Velimirov, Marine Ecology, Vol. 35, 2014)
“Chapter narratives are clear and comprehensible to nonspecialists. Each of the 22 chapters contains extensive, relevant literature citations. Figure quality, table organization, and editorial rigor are good throughout. Although the topic appears narrow, this work is a good source of information on coral biology for both specialists and nonspecialists. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (S. R. Fegley, Choice, Vol. 51 (3), November, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
