Physiology and histology of the Cubomedusæ
Edward William Berger and Franklin Story Conant
The box jellyfish carries some of the ocean's deadliest venom and, oddly, real eyes. Berger's study examines the physiology and structure of these Cubomedusae, comparing Charybdea with the familiar Aurelia and the upside-down Cassiopea. Careful marine biology from the tide line to the microscope. Discover how a creature with no brain still watches the water around it.
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.
