A fascinating world, filled with mystifying colors, textures, and hundreds of exotic life forms, exists practically in the shadows of the skyscrapers of coastal cities. Hidden and seemingly unknown, this intertidal marine world is inhabited by some of nature's most beautiful and interesting creatures. All of this is easily accessible to anyone interested in learning about this special environment, even beginning explorers and young children. Life Between The Tides can be the key to opening this world, even from the comfort of home.

Life Between The Tides is not only an excellent full color tidepool field guide, it is also a resource for students and anyone interested in marine life. In addition to descriptions and color photos of the intertidal marine inhabitants in their natural habitats, sections also describe the intertidal environment, scientific nomenclature, and species interrelations. A special section describes how the reader, with no special equipment, can "explore the intertidal" and experience firsthand the remarkable array of colors, shapes, sizes, and activities of the life forms. The purpose of the book is to help satisfy the curiosity of those interested in the marine animals and plants living "between the tides." All of the photos are with the relevant text, so the reader does not have to flip back and forth between descriptions and color photos. Life Between The Tides is currently being used extensively as a text in Marine Biology and Marine Ecology courses in colleges throughout California.
