4.0 out of 5 stars great photography, 2 April 2006

By	I. Ramadani "orchidtears666" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nature Aquarium World: Bk. 1 (Natural Aquarium World) (Hardcover)

if you are looking for amazing photography or great inspiration in creating your own little piece of mother nature this book is the one. the reason that i have given 4 star rating to it is because unfortunately the book contains no information whatsoever about the species of the plants used in Amano's creations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb book, ought to be an essential reference !, 24 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Nature Aquarium World: Bk. 1 (Natural Aquarium World) (Hardcover)

This is the first volume in a three volume set by Takashi Amano. In this volume are numerous stunning photographs of 'nature aquariums' filled with thriving aquatic plants and fish. The author has attempted to recreate a 'natural', but at the same time aesthetically pleasing, environment in aquariums of all sizes from tiny to massive. The volume also contains the authors notes on setting up such aquariums, and interspersed with the photographs, observances on life and the environment(comic, profound, or merely trite). Reading this volume is guarenteed to get the dedicated aquarium keeper itching to recreate such beautiful aquascapes, but I felt it would have been nice to have some clearer guidance from the author on how to do this. If one was looking for flaws the scientific nomeclature is also not in keeping with the views of contempory 'authorities'on the subject. However, overall I would say this is one of my favourite aquatic books of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb collection of photographs of 'nature aquariums', 24 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This is part of a three volume set by the Japanese aquatic 'gardener' Takashi Amano. Volume II explores the possibilites with small aquariums. Possibly it isn't as useful as volume I, as it lacks much of the information in that book, and the scientific nomeclature throughout the series is not in keeping with contemporary 'authorities'. Even so, it is worth buying for the beautiful photographs and for inspiration.
