Jellyfish & other gelatinous organisms

Jellyfish & other gelatinous organisms by Lisa-Ann Gershwin

Summary:

The 4th cover states, "Constituting one of the earliest life forms on the planet, jellyfish have been drifting beneath the waves for at least 500 million years. These gelatinous beauties continue to fascinate with their impressive adaptability and ability to thrive in increasingly warm and polluted oceans. This book deals mainly with jellyfish themselves, but also with other planktonic gelatinous organisms, such as salps and ctenophores. Beautifully illustrated, it presents the latest information on the lives of these incredible creatures, as well as portraits of 50 of the most remarkable species, from the tiny immortal jellyfish to the giant Nomura jellyfish."
