Book excerpt: At last a guide to fish as well as invertebrates with profusely illustrated keys and the most recent terminology! It is not only practical but authoritative as well. A Practical Guide to the Marine Animals of Northeastern North America features Leland Pollock's innovative, user-friendly keys that circumvent many of the difficulties of traditional identification systems. Pollock's keys offer choices among distinctive attributes of the specimen. Results are compared to all variations found in the region's fauna, using a neatly displayed tabular form accompanied by many line drawings.
