Bloomsbury Green Guides are portable handbooks to the most commonly found species in Britain and Europe. Our coastlines are home to a wide range of animals and plants, some that are iconic sights on beaches and others that we only see when we look more closely. The Green Guide to Seashore Life makes identifying them easy for beginners and amateur naturalists alike. Concise descriptions include information on appearance, habitat and distribution and similar species. Beautiful colour illustrations of all 150 species are included. A detailed introduction includes colour photographs and information on types of seashore habitat, shore zonation and groups of seashore plants and animals.
