Readers glancing at titles would of course believe a book simply titled Aquarium would be another primer on maintaining aquatic life in a glass tank: think again. Diane Cook and Len Jenshel are photographers with a fascination for displays of aquatic life: their visual celebration Aquarium took over three years to complete, translated their landscape photography skills to the water world, and involved travel to eight countries to explore many different aquarium environments, making Aquarium's visual display more than just a passing snapshot.
