Binding: worn with rubbing to edges. \n \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Study of Fishes is a natural history and zoological work by Chapman Pincher, a writer best known for his later career as a defence and intelligence journalist, but who began his professional life as a science correspondent with a strong grounding in biology. Written with scientific rigour and accessible clarity, the book presents a comprehensive survey of fish biology, behaviour, and ecology, drawing on Pincher's B.Sc. training in the natural sciences. It chronicles the anatomy, habits, and habitats of a wide variety of fish species, making it an invaluable reference for both the keen angler and the serious naturalist. The work reflects the mid-twentieth century tradition of popular science writing that sought to bring rigorous zoological knowledge to a general audience, and remains a notable early work from one of Britain's most fascinating literary figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956328345819,"sku":"2026200008381-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/72a47976-710a-49d3-867a-3bb84655337f.png?v=1783499766","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008381-secondhand-a-study-of-fishes","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
