Reviews
It is enough to keep a fish nerd occupied for a very, very long time... I think of this as the encyclopedic complement to the field guide.
A heroic undertaking in its scope. The icthyological community has eagerly awaited the publication of the second volume of this most important work, which provides continent-wide coverage of North America's freshwater fish fauna. This book will make our jobs easier.
