Title: Nature Aquarium World: Book 1 by Takashi Amano, Talsashi Amano ISBN: 0-7938-0089-7 Publisher: TFH Publications Pub. Date: April, 1994 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $35.95 |

Summary: Inspirational Work - but not a brginner's guide
Comment: All of Amano books are extremely beautiful and inspiring. They provide fodder for designing amazing planted aquariums. He uses an approach similar to Japanese gardening and arrangement. He incorporates both traditional modes and natural landscape.
However, I only gave it four stars because Anamo's description of his technical skills and planning is very limited. His explanations require some basic aquarium knowledge like nitrogen cycles, plant and animal compatibility, and basic water chemistry.
This is perfect for an intermediate aquarium hobbyist. It also works as a great coffee table book.

Summary: Every Aquarium Owner Should See This Book
Comment: Besieged by ugliness in the aquariums that you've seen? Grown tired of the neon plants and gravel in every color of the rainbow-type typical petstore displays? This book is the answer.
Breathtaking photos and exacting descriptions (of both the photography techniques and the plants, stones, substrates, etc. used to create the scenes are included. I would've given it the full 5 stars, but..like most amazing 'how-to' books, these scenes are more of a nirvana that aqariums could wish to attain instead of practical set-ups for Joe everyman. However, even the lush (and very expensive) plant materials and displays can serve as inspiration for current or potential aquarium owners to harmonize their little underwater worlds with nature...instead of masking it over with horrid fluorescent colors.

Summary: Beautiful and practical
Comment: I own Books I and II (anticipating purchase of Book III), and the only reason I give Book II four stars is that it's page layouts don't compare with the striking images from Book I. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. I do recommend II over I simply because the tanks it features seem to me a more feasible size for someone just getting started, or someone short on space. The fact is that, while the small tanks in Book II are gorgeous, they can't compare with the larger aquaqscapes in Book I. So, if you only get one Nature Aquarium World book, get Book I. Otherwise, become an Amano acolyte like myself and get them all, and if you are the least bit interested in aquaria, you will not be disappointed!
