The sea is not made of water : life between the tides / by Nicolson, Adam,1957-author.(CARDINAL)518474; Boxer, Kate,1961-author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)863886; Nicolson, Rosie,illustrator.;

Heraclitus on the shore -- Part II. Planetary connection -- 7. Tide -- 8. Rock -- Part III. People -- 9. Sacrifice -- 10. Survival -- 11. Belief -- 12. Three steps to the modern -- Conclusion: the last pool."Few places are as familiar as the shore - and few as full of mystery and surprise. How do sandhoppers inherit an inbuilt compass from their parents? How do crabs understand the tides? How can the death of one winkle guarantee the lives of its companions? What does a prawn know? In The Sea is Not Made of Water, Adam Nicolson explores the natural wonders of the intertidal and our long human relationship with it. The physics of the seas, the biology of anemone and limpet, the long history of the earth, and the stories we tell of those who have lived here: all interconnect in this zone where the philosopher, scientist and poet can meet and find meaning. In this blend of fascinating, surprising ecology and luminous human history, Adam Nicolson gives an invitation to the shoreline. Anyone who chooses can look beyond their own reflection and find the marvellous there, waiting an inch beneath their nose"--Publisher's description.

Pacific reef and shore : a photo guide to Northwest marine life / by Harbo, Rick M.,author.(CARDINAL)893733;
"Still compact and the perfect size for travelling, Pacific Reef and Shore has been updated with new species, up-to-date scientific information and many brilliant photographs of the more than 300 common plants and animals found in the intertidal zone off the coast of North America-from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, to Point Conception, California. Each entry includes a description summary with information on size and habitat, and a photo for species verification, giving readers an overview of local sea life without weighing them down as they explore the shore. The world's oceans contain mysteries that scientists are discovering every day. While the depths of the Pacific may seem a world away, the intertidal zones are at the fingertips of any diver, kayaker or beach stroller curious about the various plants and wildlife that dwell there. Lightweight, inexpensive and accessible, Pacific Reef and Shore is the indispensable reference for any curious visitor to the shore."--
