Rocky Shores

Bloomsbury Wildlife 2019 368, col illus. . HB. NEW. . This book explores the species, communities and landscape of the narrow strip of land along our coastline. Limited in extent it may be, but no other habitat in Britain is as extreme and dynamic. As the tide ebbs and flows, physical and chemical conditions can alter dramatically in a matter of minutes, yet an impressive number of life forms have adapted and even thrive in these challenging conditions. Rock pools dotted across the shore contain unique pockets of diversity, while the strandline at the high-tide mark supports a curious community of microbes and invertebrates that in turn attract birds and mammals. Jthe authors gently guide the reader through the patterns of marine biodiversity that might be encountered on sheltered and exposed shores: from the inhospitable splash zone to the repeatedly submerged lower shore, and everything in between. In addition to the ecology, there is also much to be said about our cultural and historical links with the shore, and the authors also reflect on what the future may hold for this beautiful but vulnerable coastal ecosystem. Filled with stunning photographs of rocky shores and their extraordinary inhabitants, this book will appeal to anyone with a love of the shore from the occasional rockpooler through to enthusiastic naturalist..

Withdrawn from an institutional library, a few ink stamps., wrappers retained. Good.. A review, published in The Geographical Journal 1895 (Vol. 5 pp 73-75) stated that this work ‘contains valuable material for discussion in connection with coral reefs. The Macclesfield Bank lies in the centre of the South China Seas, halfway between the northern part of the island of Luzon and the coast of Annam, and due south of Hong Kong. Earlier surveys showed that it rises rapidly out of deep water, has a length of about 80 miles, and a breadth of 30 miles …’Sir Percy William Bassett-Smith (1861-1227) trained as a physician, joining the Navy in 1883. He was promoted to Staff Surgeon in 1895 and retired in 1920 with the rank of Surgeon Rear-Admiral. He served on a number of naval ships and conducted dredgings to report on the geology and biology of coral reefs, many of the specimens he collected were donated to the British Museum (Natural History)..
