“Simons vividly captures the thrill and the cost of squeezing the ocean into a glass tank.”
“Simons vividly captures the thrill and the cost of squeezing the ocean into a glass tank.”
“a wonderfully written insight into a brief window of Victorian era history which is both fascinating, and important for our understanding of human-animal relations.” Cosmos magazine
“Simons’s material refuses to be confined within the rigid confines of British aquarium history. The book covers changing attitudes towards seashores, shell-collecting, fish farming, marine science, oceanographic surveys, animal welfare, recreational fishing, and even a digression into Australian aquariums. A rich use of anecdote and contemporary accounts reveals the diversity of participation in marine science and aquariums.”
