I was expecting more of a how-to, or instructional book about setting up aquarium ecosystems. While Amano does list the "ingredients" he uses to create the environments, this book is presented like an artist's monograph. If you have any interest in aquariums, Japanese gardens, or art in general, you may find this book inspiring. If you are looking for information on building and sustaining an aquatic ecosystem, you might want to add a few other books to your shopping cart. :)
