A Natural History Of The Seashore, No. 94 (The New Naturalist),P

HarperCollins Publishers

A comprehensive, authoritative account of the natural history of the seashore, from earliest times to the present day. \nThe seashore, with its endlessly changing tides, is one of the most fluctuating physical environments on the planet. Home to an abundance of animal and plant life, it is also one of the richest habitats the naturalist can explore. Here in Britain, we are fortunate to have a long and varied coastline, and our relatively large tidal ranges mean that our seashore offers a wide range of coastal habitats, including mud, sand, shingle and rock. In New Naturalist Seashore, Peter Hayward looks at:\n\u2022 Resident and migrant species, including fish, barnacles, limpets, winkles, sponges, algae, lichens and sea grasses\n\u2022 The effects of tourism and pollution on these habitats\n\u2022 The geology of the British Isles, with its sinking and rising coastlines\n\u2022 The responses and adaptations of plant and animal life to a changing physical environment\nThis narrow.
