An absolute must-have Dec 15, 2006
By Jason Turgeon
I used this book for two summers when I lived on Hilton Head. My job was to drive people around on small boats and teach them about the natural wonders of barrier islands. Since I was a boat captain, not a naturalist, this book saved my bacon many times over. Anytime anyone asked me a question, I'd just grab the book and look it up, and I'd usually give it to them so they could look at the pictures. I recommend this book for anyone living near the coast in the Southeast. In fact, a lot of it is still relevant to folks in the Northeast. Some of the species are different, but the processes are still the same.
What's not clear from Amazon's description is that this book has a unique format. Each page was originally an article in the local paper, so you get one page of info per critter or process. The pages are works of art, hand-drawn and lettered in pen and ink. Any one of them would be worthy of framing. The language is clear and easy to understand, written for laymen but with enough info to satisfy naturalists. In fact, they're so beautiful and well-written that I'm here today to buy a copy for a professor of mine who teaches college classes on the geology and natural history of the East coast. There's nothing in this book he doesn't know or can't look up in a normal reference book. It's the artwork that really makes this book pop.
Don't hesitate to buy this--you won't be disappointed!

Great for a beach enthusiast Sep 08, 2009
By Barb
I moved to Hilton Head Island about two years ago. I couldn't figure out what some of those little beach creatures were, or how they lived, or how they survived. Very enlightening book from a native naturalist.

If you love the beach... Sep 11, 2010
By Muhammed
This is a wonderful book for all ages to use at the beach to enrich your beachwalks and beachcombing. Beautiful drawings and loads of fun information. We used it on our vacation and even had "shell of the day" challenges.
Fabulous.
