The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs

"The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs" by Charles Darwin is a classic work in the field of coral reef ecology. It was first published in 1842 and remains a key reference to this day. It examines the distribution and structure of coral reefs, comparing them to other geological formations. Darwin sought to understand the formation of coral reefs, and his work provides an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the ecology of coral reefs. The book includes a wealth of information on the species composition of reefs, the physical structure of reefs, and their geological formation.
