I just received my pre-ordered copy of Octopus: The Ocean’s Intelligent Invertebrate by Jennifer A. Mather, Roalnd C. Anderson, and our own TONMO.com staff member, James B. Wood. Congratulatioins to James and the other authors!
This is a nice looking book, 208 pages long with a 32-page color photo section in the center. Subtitled “A Natural History”, the book is organized in this way:
Preface
Acknowledgements
Introduction: Meet the Octopus
In the Egg
Driftingt and Settling
Making a Living
In the Den
Getting Around
Appearances
Not Getting Eaten
Personalities
Intelligence
Sex at Last
The Rest of the Group
Postscript: Keeping a Captive Octopus
References
Index
There's a section on keeping a captive octopus. TONMO.com is mentioned among helpful internet chat groups.
I’ve just had time to read bits of various chapters – interesting, seems to be written for the general public, lots of anecdotes in side bars, (small articles inside larger ones). Looks like Tonmo members would enjoy reading this.
