The author challenges assumptions and captivates curious minds with this eye-opening exploration beneath the surface. He takes readers on a science-rich journey through the remarkable lives of fish, revealing that they’re far more than instinct-driven creatures. Drawing on the latest research and vivid examples from rivers, reefs and aquariums, Balcombe shows that fish have memory, perception, social bonds, emotions, tool-use and cooperative behaviours, reshaping how we think about aquatic life. This engaging blend of science, storytelling and insight forever changes the way you see fish – from pet goldfish to deep-sea dwellers – and inspires a deeper respect for our underwater friends and the ecosystems they inhabit. Very good condition, Softcover, 130cm x 200cm, 288 pages.
