The intertidal wilderness : a photographic journey through Pacific Coast tidepools / Anne Wertheim Rosenfeld with Robert T. Paine.

Rosenfeld, Anne Wertheim, 1951- (Author). Paine, Robert T., 1933-2016 (Added Author).

Summary:

"The Intertidal Wilderness is a stunning photographic exploration of the tidepools of the Pacific coast, from Baja California to as far north as southeast Alaska. These lush photographs capture in striking color the enormous variety of life and biological detail in the intertidal zone along one of the world's most spectacular coastlines. The interpretative text and captions describe telltale signs of ecological relationships and processes, helping seashore explorers appreciate ecological interactions and their consequences. The text delves into the roles of competition, predation, reproduction, natural variation in space and time, and color that characterize this vibrant ecosystem." "This revised edition has been updated throughout, incorporating new scientific information, new photographs, and a new chapter discussing the recent human impact on this threatened environment. Fusing art and science, The Intertidal Wilderness conveys the fragility, complexity, and interdependence of the plants and animals living at the interface of land and sea." "The Intertidal Wilderness vividly animates the surprisingly delicate beauty of the often violent intertidal zone, which daily withstands pounding waves at high tide as well as desiccation and exposure at low tide. With revealing photographs, engaging text, and a solid foundation in marine biology, this book will capture the imagination of both the casual seashore visitor and the dedicated enthusiast."--BOOK JACKET.
