""Wave-Swept Shore" is a spectacular integration of superb nature photography synthesized into a brilliantly lucid explanation of difficult science. This book belongs on the shelf of anybody interested in the seashore."--Paul K. Dayton, recipient of the George Mercer and William S. Cooper Awards from the Ecological Society of America and the E. O. Wilson Naturalist Award from the American Society of Naturalists ""Wave-Swept Shore" wonderfully combines science and art, providing the reader with an accessible understanding of the incredibly complex coastal ecosystem. In the spirit of Rachel Carson, this book opens our eyes to the wonders of this harsh environment. Anne Wertheim Rosenfeld's photographs are simply beautiful, and at the same time, they describe the shoreline in rich detail. Her images elegantly portray both the art and science of her subjects."--William Neill, author of "Landscapes of the Spirit" and "Traces of Time and Yosemite: The Promise of Wildness" ""Wave-Swept Shore" allows the non-specialist to interpret and appreciate life in the remarkable rocky shore habitats of western North America and beyond. Koehl deftly explains how the animals and plants cope with this extreme environment while Rosenfeld illustrates the striking forms and patterns that result. Anyone who enjoys the seashore will enjoy this book; some may even plan to visit the beach because of it."--Richard Strathmann, Professor of Biology, University of Washington
