This book is a stepping stone for young readers who might wish to proceed to some of the more comprehensive and scientific field guides that cover a much broader area than Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard. A reader with access to the Internet can search each individual common or scientific name in this book and immediately link, in many cases, to a treasure trove of further information. 166 detailed illustrations of subjects from seaweeds to sponges, jellyfish, worms, starfish and mollusks.

Review:

"A rather personal guide to shore life [with] clear outline drawings....A single artist has done the job, working on paper with his pen, and photographic offset methods have brought us his work." -Scientific American

"Giambarba....has an enthusiasm rare among successful authors, which is captured in these books....The author produces high-quality, well-illustrated, edited and printed books....at realistic prices." -Richard McDonough, The Boston Sunday Herald
