Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive catalog of reef-building corals collected during the Challenger Expedition, a pioneering scientific voyage that spanned the globe in the late 19th century. Through detailed descriptions and illustrations, the author meticulously documents nearly 300 species, including 71 newly discovered ones, significantly expanding our understanding of coral diversity. The book delves into the distribution and ecology of these corals, shedding light on their preferred habitats, thermal limits, and associations with other marine organisms. It examines the relationship between the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific coral faunas, revealing distinct boundaries and possible areas of overlap. The author also discusses the classification and evolution of corals, offering insights into their broader evolutionary history. The significance of this book lies in its vast collection of specimens, which has served as a foundation for subsequent coral research. It provides a valuable reference for marine biologists, ecologists, and taxonomists, and remains an essential resource for understanding the diversity and distribution of reef-building corals. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.

Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.

We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

Returns

As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.

Thank you in advance!
