Description:
"A worthwhile addition to the library of anyone who is interested in marine life or who spends time walking shorelines. I'd buy it for the high quality photographs alone!"--Wayne R. Petersen, author of Birds of New England and Birds of Massachusetts
Review Quotes: "Biologist, writer, and photographer Sept has authored an excellent book that details various organisms inhabiting the northeastern coast of North America. The introduction, written in an easy-to-understand language, describes tides and their formation, various intertidal habitats including sand beaches, mud flats, rocky shores, intertidal zones, and microhabitats. . . . Excellent black-and-white illustrations of common animals for identification add to the allure. This book will serve as a valuable guide to any person visiting a beach or students and scientists in the field looking to identify common organisms on the beach."---A.K. Volety, Choice
