Did you know that ups and downs in the Earth’s temperature millions of
years ago are revealed by fishes’ ears, that some fish mate for life and a
single sturgeon could be worth $100 000? If so, you’ve probably read The
Science Times Book of Fish, edited by Nicholas Wade. It’s a collection of
stories from The New York Times, complete with original headlines. Feelings of
surfeit might result from prolonged reading, but the odd fillet makes a
rewarding snack. Published by Lyons and Burford, £22.95/$25, ISBN
1558216049.
