Rocky Shores (British Wildlife Collection, Bk. 7)

No habitat in the British Isles is as impressive, extreme and dynamic as the rocky shore. Physical and chemical conditions can alter dramatically in a matter of minutes as the tide ebbs and flows, yet an impressive number of species have adapted to and even thrive in these challenging conditions. They are described and illustrated here, in glorious detail, as the authors celebrate the amazing diversity of life forms that populate the coast, and the fascination that these creatures have held over centuries for biologist and layman alike.
