Well, you wouldn’t, would you?This is a story of a UK attorney colliding with a Pacific island culture. The fallout is moving, dramatic, bewildering and often hilarious.· A hilarious journey to Tuvalu – a paradise island in the South Pacific and world’s fourth smallest country · Inspiring story for anyone dreaming of leaving the rat-race behind· Will appeal to all the fans of Bill Bryson

The South Pacific has long been in need of a comprehensive guide to reef and shore fishes.

This is followed by a concise list of the characteristics needed to identify the species, the total length it attains, its distribution, habitat, and in summary form what may be known of its biology. More than 600 references are given for those seeking more information on individual species. The introduction contains a two-page color spread of the main external features of fishes.
