Among the most venomous animals in the sea drift the box jellyfish, delicate and deadly. Franklin Conant sorts out the cubomedusae, from Charybdea to the chirodropids, describing their anatomy and their families with care. A focused study of a strange and dangerous corner of the ocean. Meet the transparent hunters that armed the tropical seas.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
