Résumé :
|
This fascinating book reveals how the anatomy and behaviour of seashore animals and plants enable them to live in and out of salt water, and to survive being pounded by surf, buffeted by the wind, and dried by the sun.The seashore, stretching in a narrow ribbon around every portion of the world's land masses, is one of the most exciting and exacting of our planet's habitats. Twice each day the sea rises up the shore and then retreats, creating a demanding cycle of conditions for the plants and animals that live there. Their adaptations to this harsh world, their beauty and their complexity are revealed in this dazzling collection of specially commissioned photographs. Many of the animals featured are alive, while the fossil and mineral specimens come from specialist museum collections; all are reproduced with such clarity that you can almost feel their textures on the page.
