A new octopus book has just been released: The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness. The author, Sy Montgomery is a popular naturalist who has written books on Dolphins, Tigers, Pigs, and Great Apes, just to name a few. She was really interested in octopuses and not only researched them, but visited them often and even went diving.
Well, what's exciting is that the book Colin Dunlop and I wrote, Cephalopods: Octopuses and Cuttlefishes for the Home Aquarium, is referred to in the Soul of an Octopus. Also, the author actually mentions my name and Ollie's in two places and discusses a couple of my Ollie stories from our ceph book.
I was glad to see that our website, TONMO.com, is listed in online resources.
I haven't read this book yet, but from what I've seen so far, it will be worth reading. I'll post a review after I've read the whole book.
Even though this book is published by a major publisher and looks very professional and is on good paper, it skimps on photos - only 15, although they are good quality and color.
