🙂 Just want to say that I have just recieved the new book by Peter Finke and Martin Hallmann and I have to say I am very very impressed. It is a wonderful book and I am going to work my way though every german word of it :), though this may take a while. But I am sure there is a lot of information and knowledge to be gained from it.
Thank you very much, indeed for making this book. I hope many people will buy it and enjoy the work.I would very much like to join in Helenes laudation ……………. but I can’t!
I will only get the book as a birthday present in the first days of November…………….. But it is already here, lying on the table in it’s transparent shrink-wrapping …………. Can you imagine this pain?????? (How cruel a husband can be ….)🙂 I can imagine, Stefanie. I’ve received the book as well but am moving into a new house this month, so there’s no time to have a look at it. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who has to patience untill November! My wife appreciates my sacrifice 😛
My birthday dating about 2 weeks back, I had enough time to look through this eagerly awaited present thoroughly and to even read most of it by now.
What shall I say? It exceeds all my expectations.
To be honest – when I first heard about the book, I didnt’t expect much news – having all the information on keeping and breeding and species/ forms here at this website and on the IGL-homepage and the corresponding forums. Most of this information comes from the authors of the book – Peter Finke and Martin Hallmann. So I expected a comprehension of all information already given.
I would never have expected to learn so much new!The book not only contains chapters on keeping, breeding, behaviour, species and forms, but discusses critical aspects of keeping paros, gives valuable information about habitats (and habitat destruction), critically comments environmental degradation (and our share of it!).
And, overall, it is nicely bound, good paper quality, wonderful photos!So if anyone thinks (like I thought) this book is maybe nice, but redundant – No! It is very nice, indeed – and it is essential to have it!
A huge thank-you to the authors!
I just received my copy I ordered on Amazon from a dealer in Germany. It is a wonderful hard-bound book with great pictures! My German is so-so, but with a dictionary and some time, I have been able to read some of the more interesting sections on Parosphromenus husbandry, and I can say that the information is indeed valuable. I’m already using the knowledge to design my next Paro-Anlage 🙂
