Where Corals Lie

This book uniquely treats the many manifestations of corals in biology and geology; how diverse corals came to figure in art, expeditionary accounts, medicine, folklore, geopolitics, and international trade; and corals as builders of islands and protectors of coastlines, and as building materials themselves.

Aceasta carte trateaza in mod unic numeroasele manifestari ale coralilor in biologie si geologie; modul in care diversele corali au ajuns sa apara in arta, conturi expeditionale, medicina, folclor, geopolitica si comert international; si corali ca constructori de insule si protectori ai coastelor si ca materiale de constructie in sine.
