Review
'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
'... a unique, concise illustrated guide to both the biology and identification of over 600 common and widespread shore animals and plants ... this book will be the premier biological text and identification guide for students at school and university, teachers and all those interested in the seashore for many years to come.' Piet Lansbergen, Coast
'... should rapidly become accepted as a standard identification text for shore organisms.' Hugh Jones, Bulletin of the Malacological Society of London
