(4) 4-6 This introduction to bioluminescence gives ancient examples then clearly explains the chemicals necessary to produce the phenomenon. Most of the remaining chapters--with minimal headings hampering visual organization--give examples of bioluminescent organisms arranged by habitat where they flourish. A chapter on "harness[ing] this power" concludes the book. Captioned photos and diagrams, including those for several experiments, illustrate the text. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
