Reviews
A rotating rock that exercises a directing force over the migration of sea turtles is the legendary Turtle Mother of Rudloe's (The Wilderness Coast: Adventures of a Naturalist Along Florida's Gulf Coast, LJ 3/1/88) quest. Recounts by Central American coastal inhabitants, fishermen, and academicians explain that Turtle Mother folklore provided a conservation ethic that guided early inhabitants to harvest turtles at a sustainable rate in contrast with current destructive practices. Travels through warring countries, confrontations with hostile poachers, and other hair-raising adventures are interwoven with the natural history of the sea turtle. The author speculates as to the role of rocks and magnetism in the homing ability of turtles and poses the mystery that these forces were known to the ancient Olmecs. This captivating book leaves the reader with a fresh perspective on the condition of marine turtles and the people who depend on them. Highly recommended for general readers.?Frank Reiser, Nassau Community Coll., Garden City, N.Y.
