Unique, beautifully illustrated guide to the seashore linking biology with identification.
'This is an information-packed volume for the serious student of
the seashore … The great merit of this book is that it goes into
considerable detail about the individual species including aspects
of their behaviour, longevity and distribution around the British
coast … illustrated with excellent line drawings of every species
featured … The book seems better the more I look at it.'
Glaucus
