5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent layman level coastal marine science., November 18, 1999

Althought the cover looks simplistic, it belies an excellent book for those interested in coastal and estuarine life forms and habitats in the Northeast US. Much more scientific than I expected. A great reference book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference guide for those who love beachcombing!, March 2, 2002

When I first got the book in 1999, I read it cover to cover immediately, and learned much about the various beach finds I have been curious about for many years. It answered many of my basic questions and I still use it as a reference. Interesting and valuable information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what it says it is, August 2, 2010

I saw a copy of this at a rangers' station near a beach. It turned out to be an excellent purchase - a must-have if you own a beach house or like to walk along the beach, and are interested in learning about the abundant nature in these areas and the science connected with it. Clear descriptions, well-illustrated, overall a very fine book. It is, however, focused on the northern Atlantic beaches of the USA. You might need another book if you do your beachcombing elsewhere.
