Garden Ponds

Internet Book Watch

Atlas Of Garden Ponds is the welcome and much appreciated result of a full-scale collaboration between Dr. Herbert R. Axelrod, Albert Spalding Benoist, and Dennis Kelsey-Wood. This coffee-table sized compendium is spectacularly illustrated throughout with full color photography as the informative text covers all aspects of garden ponds including pond materials and budgeting, the installation of a pond liner, installing a concrete pond, installing a performed pond, water quality, aeration, filtration, waterfalls and fountains, pond decoration, indoor and novelty ponds, seasonal pond care, pond plants, pond animals, fish anatomy and physiology, purchasing pond fishes, fish nutrition, and pond fish species. Of special note is Dr. K. Murakami's special chapter on "Diseases of Koi and Other cold Water Fishes". Highly recommended for gardeners, landscapers, and fish fanciers, Atlas Of Garden Ponds is enhanced further with a list of recommended readings, a conversion chart, Metric/English equivalents, and a "user friendly" index.
