It is a useful book because, as the authors explain, modern biotechnology are looking into this group to solve our problems since cephalopods (as this group are known) ‘have attributes that society and industry would like to incorporate into modern devices’ – such as the octopus inspired flexible robotic arm.Octopuses have eight arms, squids have a tubular shape but not naturally buoyant, and cuttlefish are like squids but have a ‘cuttlebone’ which they use to pump air in order to stay buoyant. They all have large brains and the octopus is regarded as an intelligent creature. There is a chapter on how intelligence is evaluated in these animals. The account of the Common European Cuttlefish as a wily predator is fascinating.This book traces the 500 million years of evolution of these cephalopods, and the effect of climate change on their continued evolution. The descriptions of the various species and types of these lovely sea creatures are accompanied by excellent photographs of the highest quality.Although this is a larger book than usual, it is not unwieldy, nor is it heavy. The chapter on world fisheries and consumption of these animals (some are poisonous but others are delicious) is educational and after reading and understanding them, we might change our dietary preferences. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spectacular!! *by N***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018* If only I had had books with photos like these when I was a kid back in the dim past of the early 20th century..... instead of tiny black and white photos and line drawings in a 1944 encyclopedia. Ah, well, better late than never. You will be entranced by this book. Yep, the anatomy and physiology descriptions are somewhat above the ordinary layman, but you still be mesmerized by the intelligence and beauty of these cephalopods, part of the wondrous natural world that I just ache to be able to preserve against degradation and exploitation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In depth information that’s accessible! *by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2020* My 7 year old daughter is obsessed with Octopodes and anything cephalopod related. We have exhausted every kids book out there learning about these amazing creatures, but her thirst for knowledge is unabated. I ordered this book hoping it would actually give her the information she was craving...and it delivered! I read it aloud to her and she loves it! The book is written at a high school/college level, but I’m able to explain big concepts to her and she will sit looking at the pictures for hours. If you want a book with beautiful pictures and more than cursory information about these mysterious creatures, this book is perfect, --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/112648132-octopus-squid-and-cuttlefish-a-visual-scientific-guide-to-oceans](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/112648132-octopus-squid-and-cuttlefish-a-visual-scientific-guide-to-oceans) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
