About this title

Synopsis

the sierra club naturalist guide contains identifying information on most of he region's typical life forms, and also explain the ecology of the whole

From Library Journal

The newest addition to this series occu pies a middle ground between general seashore books such as Philip Kopper's The Wild Edge ( LJ 10/1/79) and Nor man A. Meinkoth's The Audubon Soci ety Field Guide to North American Seashore Creatures ( LJ 2/15/82). Al though it would not replace a good field guide for identification, it is much more readable than a field guide and includes interesting case histories. It also more systematically covers shore organisms, including all the major groups and some that are frequently overlooked, such as the reptiles and microorganisms in the coast's natural areas: the barrier is lands, estuaries, salt marshes, and eel grass areas. Recommended for general libraries, particularly in the area. Su san Klimley, Columbia Univ. Libs.
