Nuestros peces fluviales es fundamentalmente una obra de lectura temática. A pesar de los términos científicos que se leen en ella --- incluye un glosario que los aclara --- no está ni mucho menos dirigida a los especialistas en la materia; sino al lector medio de cualquier edad comprendida entre la adolescencia y la madurez.En cierto sentido, este libro viene a llenar parte del vacío informativo que en los últimos dos decenios han estado creando las Guías de los peces de Europa y de España, publicaciones extranjeras admirables en todos los conceptos pero en las que --- quizás por falta de espacio --- se representan muy pocas de nuestras especies y se da de ellas una descripción excesivamente sintetizada.La primera parte de nuestro libro reúne artículos no extensos en los cuales secomentan aspectos variados v. gr. el estado actual de la hidrosfera, los nombresde nuestros ríos principales y sus afluentes, y la clasificación sistemática de los peces; haciéndose también un resumen de la ictiología del pasado, con mención de nombres de ictiólogos hist-ricos. Contraviniendo la existente costumbre de dedicar en libros de este estilo unas páginas a la pesca deportiva de río, no hemos redactado ni un solo párrafo con semejante objetivo, por considerarlo en esta ocasión innecesario.En la segunda parte o Rudimentos de ictiología se incluyen conocimientoselementales de morfología y estructura interna de los vertebrados acuáticos,comentándose también los caracteres esenciales y el funcionamiento fisiológico de sus principales órganos. La tercera parte trata de la descripción e ilustración de las especies de nuestra fauna ictiológica continental, formando un catálogo que es la parte más voluminosa del libro. Cada artículo de pez comentado en detalle incluye una ficha con nombres científicos y vulgares de la especie.
78 vibrant colored illustrations jump off the page, stimulating the visual senses. To conclude the book, the reader counts globes scattered on each page, a coloring activity (Hardback ONLY), and journaling which is a form of self-expression!

'One way of describing Educating Rita would be to say that it was about the meaning of education ... Another would be to say that it was about the meaning of life. A third, that it is a cross between Pygmailion and Lucky Jim. A fourth, that it is simply a marvellous play, painfully funny and passionately serious; a hilarious social documentary; a fairy-tale with a quizzical, half-happy ending.' Sunday TimesThis new student edition includes an introduction covering the play's context; chronology; dramatic devices; critical reception; production history; and key themes such as class and identity, popular culture and education. Educating Rita portrays a working-class Liverpool woman's hunger for education. It premiered at the RSC Warehouse, London, in 1980 and won the SWET award for Best Comedy of the Year. It was subsequently made into a highly successful film with Michael Caine and Julie Walters and won the 1983 BAFTA award for Best Film.Commentary and notes by Katie Beswick, University of the Arts London.
