New Book ‘A Photographic Guide to Nudibranchs of South West England’ Now Available

A new iBook takes extensive knowledge of diving in the south west and combines it with the most up to date scientific information available about nudibranchs. Using over 500 photographs to identify 65 species of nudibranch (including 4 potentially new species) as well as several similar marine animals, there has never been a more complete look at the variety of slugs to be found off the south west coast of England.

Bernard Picton is a leading authority on European nudibranchs, and along with co-authors Dan Bolt and Terry Griffiths, can claim nearly a century of diving experience between them.

The book is more than just a detailed listing of species descriptions; with a foreword by Dr. Alex Mustard and chapters looking at habitat and how to spot and identify your nudibranchs, it is also a thoroughly good read. Features such as interactive, clickable images are used alongside galleries of photos. There is even a ‘My Nudibranchs’ widget where you can keep track of all the species you have spotted.

Don’t think that you have to dive in the south west to benefit from this easy to use ID guide; many of the species are found around the whole of the British Isles and some species even as far away as the Mediterranean and Scandanavia.

The book is available now from www.southwestnudis.co.uk or through the iBookstore on iTunes. The book is currently only available for iPad and OS-X Mavericks. An Android/PC compatible version is on the way.
