Reviews

This book, written by Hovland (Statoil, Norway), a marine geology expert, is of considerable interest due to its many colored photographs and drawings that illustrate the locations and organic diversity of the reefs and mounds. Even though most of the work is devoted to the Scandinavian reefs, those in the other oceans appear to be similar. The text is well written and the author draws attention to the need for conservation, primarily to protect the reefs from damage by deep-water trawling. <p>Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic collections, upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, and faculty. (J. C.Briggs, CHOICE, dec 2008)
