3.0 out of 5 stars An encyclopaedia, but not as we know it, Jim!, 16 May 2003

By	C. Peacock (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Encyclopediaopedia of Aquarium Plants (Hardcover)

I was more than a little disappointed to find that a book with this title devoted less than half its contents to a plant encyclopaedia. Whilst I cannot fault the quality of the writing or the illustrations on water chemistry, tank setup, lighting, etc. which occupy the first 60% of the book, they simply duplicate dozens of other books for beginners. The plant-specific elements about substrate, lighting and fertilization, could have been covered in just a few pages, leaving more room to talk about the maintenance and propagation of individual species. Instead, maintenance and propagation are covered in two generalised sections, and text on individual plants is no more comprehensive than many smaller and/or less specialised books. Yes, you do get larger and more attractive illustrations and more species than in Wolfgang Gula's "Plants for Your Aquarium", but in terms of plant-specific information, Hiscock is only marginally ahead of Gula's much less expensive book.
