Now available in the US, this is the revised and expanded fifth edition of a book that has been the standard reference work for divers, anglers and scientists for over 30 years.The new edition covers 1,670 fish species found in the seas of tropical Southeast Asia, the Southern Pacific islands and Australia—including the Great Barrier Reef, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.A must-have reference for divers, marine biologists, ecologists, commercial fisheries and sports anglers, this book includes a comprehensive identification guide to the families of reef fishes, with a definitive index. An informative and detailed Introduction includes area coverage; faunal composition; biology, behavior and ecology of reef fishes; classification of fishes, and much more.Originally published as Marine Fishes of South-East Asia, this edition contains numerous revisions in nomenclature affecting both the scientific Latin names and common names of the region's fishes. In all cases these have been made to reflect the current universally-accepted terminology. The common names in this book are the result of a recent initiative undertaken by the Australian Government and Seafood Services Australia.Each species is depicted in detailed, full-color illustrations by noted marine artists Roger Swainston and Jill Ruse, including over 35 new species. In many cases, the illustrations show both male and female examples.With more than 2,000 illustrations and 29 color photographs, this definitive field guide will continue to be an invaluable resource for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Peeling, Dealing, and Healing is a collection of poems about a journey of self-discovery and emotional growth after a series of failed romantic relationships. It chronicles years of peeling away layers of emotional scar tissue, dealing with that integument, and, finally, experiencing the peace of true healing. But these poems do something else as well; they offer guidance and hope to others on the same path. G. Allen writes, "Protect and guide those around me, so we may venture forth unharmed." Because she knows that we must all move forward together, the reader will find much wisdom and guidance here.

Come, view life through a poet's eyes. Life's Reel is a collection of poems that evoke the heart of humanity-from the light-hearted Office Cadence to the sorrowful Mass Grief. They capture the essence of time and place through poems such as New Orleans' French Quarter and Remembering Spider Hall Farm. Join her journey in the dance of life.
