Air-Breathing Fishes: Evolution, Diversity and Adaptation is a well-organised
text aimed at upper university level covering physiology, ecology and evolution,
with detailed overviews of the fishy mechanisms for breathing air. Specialised
terms make it difficult to dip into later chapters without reading earlier ones,
however. Published by Academic Press, $79.95, ISBN 0122948602.
