An Optimist In Hell
Stephen Spotte
Creative Arts Book Company
, 1998
What is it like to be a boy who turns into a dog-on the inside? To trade bodies with a dolphin? Be pinned in a box like an exotic butterfly by a mad collector? Stephen Spotte's background in science gives him a unique perspective in these unusual, sometimes hilarious stories, whose subject is often the thinness-and occasional permeability-of ...
Fish and Invertebrate Culture: Water Management in Closed Systems
Stephen Spotte
John Wiley & Sons Inc
, 1979
A little dated, but was ahead of it's time...
Very technical, entirely comprehensive, and is still found in the bibliography of just about any serious scientific book on aquaculture. This is an excellent reference on filtration techniques, toxicity of common medications, calculating carrying capacity, and is just ...
Captive Seawater Fishes: Science and Technology

Wonderfull

Stephen Spotte
Creative Arts Book Company
, 2000
MermaidsRus
It's hard to believe that anyone could write 15 stories with a mermaid theme without repeating himself, but Steve Spotte has done it. OK, they aren't all traditional sailor's mermaids, but they are all some sort of humano-piscine chimera. The flavor of these strange ...

Candiru: Life and Legend of the Bloodsucking Catfishes
Stephen Spotte
Creative Arts Book Company
, 2002
More than just a bloodsucking fish...
Spotte's idiosyncratic book is a compendium of everything written or believed about a thin catfish purported to enter the human urethra, vagina or anus when one urinates in certain South American streams. He found, translated or had translated, and excerpted all ...
Marine Aquarium Keeping
Stephen Spotte
Wiley
, 1993
4 Stars!
A great reference, but not the best book to start out on. The writer is set in his ways and does not talk about all the options, just what he thinks is best. The three pages on filtration only talk about a subgravel filter, with on mention of live sand and rock. ...
Zoos in Postmodernism: Signs And Simulation
Stephen Spotte
Fairleigh Dickinson University Press
, 2006
the zoo as the prime locus of simulation and related cultural matters
Spotte reaches back to the artificial world of the last kings of France for a reference to what zoos are in danger of becoming in today's American postmodern culture: "a modernist collocation with the seventeenth century managerie at Versailles, a place where ...
