About This Item
London: Harper Collins, 2004. First edition, 2004. 288pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. The narrow strip of beach between the land and the sea that we call the seashore has always attracted man, in the early years as a source of food, and in Victorian times a s a rich habitat that the early naturalists would explore. This is a comprehensive and authoritative account of the natural history of the seashore, from earliest times to the present day. The seashore, with its endlessly changing tides, is one of the most fluctuating physical environments on the planet. Home to an abundance of animal and plant life, it is also one of the richest habitats the naturalist can explore. In Britain, we have a long and varied coastline, and our relatively large tidal ranges means that our seashore offers a wide range of coastal habitats, including mud, sand, shingle and rock. This book explores the fascinating biology, ecology and dynamic interactions of seashore communities. 16 colour plates and over black & white line drawings. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. As new and unread. Jacket unclipped.
