Photographic Guide to the Sea & Shore Life of Britain & North-west Europe

"Yes, I have relied on lots of different and excellent guides, including Heather Buttivant’s marvellous Rock Pool and Julie Hatcher and Steve Trewhella’s guides to beachcombing and rockpooling , but of all of them, this Oxford photographic guide became my mainstay, simply because it works! Expert, clear, satisfactorily simple for the non-scientist. (It also has a very good waterproof cover.) And none of this exploration could have made sense unless I knew what I was looking at. I also have to mention the rather more austere but utterly invaluable Student’s Guide to the Seashore by its estimable authors J. D. Fish and S. Fish."
