From Richard Ellis, America's foremost painter and chronicler of undersea life, comes Big Fish, a natural history of the largest fish on Earth. Along the way, we meet big-game fishermen like Ernest Hemingway and Zane Grey, as well as naturalists and explorers. Blending art and science with historical, cultural, and personal stories, Ellis illustrates the giants of the sea, incorporating anecdotes, archival images, and photos related to legen

Another winner from Richard Ellis T. Lalley I really love Richard Ellis. I am a nature geek and love reading about critters, ecosystems, plants etc. and Richard Ellis allows me to indulge in my geekiness. Big Fish follows the same, tried and true pattern of all Ellis' books. It goes species by species and describes each with great color. Ellis has a great sense of humor and you can tell he utterly loves his subjects. His writing is not 100% aw. "Ellis has done it again!" according to Wulfstan. The unsurpassed master of readable marine biology has struck gold with his newest book. Extremely well illustrated and easy to read, it's a fascinating book about the largest fish in the seas.Flashes of humor, and in depth knowledge makes this a great read.Hint- get this instead of "Tuna".. april dawn burroughs said Beautiful and informative. I haven't finished it but it's better than i thought it was going to be, and the artwork is incredible. i'd recomend it to any oceanic interested person.
