Product Description

Life above and below water

In this volume:

MAMBERAMO
Text & Photos: Heiko Bleher
The Mamberamo valley and river system is unique on Earth; not just because it is unspoiled, but also on account of its multiplicity of plants and animals, above and below water. The first published report on this area of rain forest in Indonesia, with news of an exciting discovery.

CRYPTODIRA II
Photos:  Burkard Kahl adn others – Text:  Editorial team
The Testudinoidea is the most species-rich group of turtles, and includes forms inhabiting water, swamps and dry land.  The last of three articles on these armoured creatures details the most up-to-date scientific information as well as describing their crazy love life.

AFRICA TERRA INCOGNITA – SENEGAL
Text & Photos: Heiko Bleher
This travelogue, titled “Senegal”, relates the history of this West African country, which harbours not only some of the most beautiful creatures in Africa, but also a riot of colour, as well as cultures and traditions, rarely experienced by the casual tourist.

PORTFOLIO
Photos: Kurt Amsler – Text – Editorial team
This time our Portfolio spotlights the work of the well-known Swiss photographer Kurt Amsler, with subject matter including symbiotic relationships, as well as other spectacular photos.

DRAGONFLIES IN SOUTHERN TURKEY
Photos: R. Seidenbusch, B. Kahl, W. Zessin – Drawings: Wolfgang Zessin – Text: R. Seidenbusch
A lot has been written and published about the most primitive insects, but this photographic report, on the dragonflies of southern Turkey (including a little history), shows for the first time the entire development of a number of species “on the spot”, in their natural habitat! A report by the best-known German expert, R. Seidenbusch.

NEON
Photos: Burkhard Kahl & Heiko Bleher – Text: Jacques Géry
Jacques Géry tells the exciting story of the discovery, travels, and first importations (including a trip aboard the airship Hindenburg), as well as the scientific description, of the Neon Tetra – and of its role today.

INDIAN MYTHOLOGY
Photos: ag archives – Drawings: Walde-Mar de Andrade e Silva – Text: translated from the book  Märchen und Mythen der brasilianische Indianer (“Stories and myths of the Brazilian indians”)
The mythology of the indians will never die out – the aqua geõgraphia team will make sure of that – though the same cannot be said of the indians. An introduction to these indigenous peoples and their stories, splendidly illustrated by the Brazilian Walde-Mar, himself of indian ancestry.

SMALL SEA BELOW THE ARCTIC

Photos: B. Klinkardt, “Planet Earth”, and others – Text: B. Klinkardt
It is known that there are dream biotopes in the frozen north. It is less well known that on the edge of the Arctic Circle there lies a sea more fascinating than any other in the northern hemisphere. The biologist Dr. Klinkardt is our guide through this cold yet beautiful – and already endangered – region.

XENOPUS
Photos: Pat Horeman & Heiko Bleher – Text: Pat Horeman
There are frogs and there are frogs. Those shown here are Xenopus, 27 years old and still thriving. The Englishwoman Pat Horeman tells of the first importation, breeding and raising the young, their maintenance, and how they have managed to become world-famous.

ALGAE
Photos: Frances Ferrugia, “Planet Earth”, and others – Drawings: Kosmos – Text: Frances Ferrugia and Burkhard Kahl
Are they important? Are they popular, dreaded, or just a nuisance? At last the Englishwoman Frances Ferrugia brings us the answers, and our freelance colleague, Mr Burkhard Kahl, highlights the latest information.
