Zustand: Very Good. x, 379, col + b/w text figs. . HB. Vg. From the library of David George (1938-2024) described as 'a true pioneer of marine conservation', and a noted marine photographer. He was a senior scientist in the Zoology Department at the British Museum (Natural History), London, with his name to endpaper. George contributed the chapter on 'Reef-Associated Macroinvertebrates of the SE Gulf' to this book. A complete review and reference for scientists, engineers and students concerned with the geology, biology or engineering aspects of coral reefs in the Middle East. It provides for the first time a complete review of both the geology and biology of all extant coral areas in the Gulf, the water body between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. In summer, this area is the hottest sea with abundant coral growth on earth and already today exhibits a temperature that is predicted to occur across the topical ocean in 2100. Thus, by studying the Gulf today, much can be learned about tomorrow's world and the capability of coral reefs to adapt to climatic extremes. This volume provides the most authoritative and up-to-date review of the coral reefs in the Gulf. It can be used as a volume of general reference or as a textbook treating recent coral reefs.
