Karen’s books and other publications – available for sale

The first volume of Karen’s invertebrate book series is available: A field guide to the marine invertebrates of South Australia.

This is the most comprehensive book for the identification of South Australian marine invertebrates (intertidal to 30m depth) ever published. It covers all groups of macro marine invertebrates, including sponges, sea anemones, corals, jellyfish, bryozoans, worms, molluscs (snails, nudibranchs, bivalves, cephalopods), crustaceans (barnacles, amphipods, isopods, shrimps, crabs), echinoderms (seastars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers), and ascidians (sea squirts). Over 870 species illustrated in full colour – over 1,500 high quality in situ colour photographs (all but 3 taken by Karen). With distribution maps, habitat information, and brief descriptions for all species. While the book is specifically aimed at South Australia, there is significant overlap in coverage with other areas of southern Australia.

Designed as a field guide – compact A5 size, high quality printing, strong durable binding, with coated pages to resist repeated use, even with wet fingers! Ideal for students, scientists, snorkellers, divers, underwater photographers and shore fossickers. In fact, anyone with an interest in southern Australian marine life.
