Crabs and Shrimps of the Pacific Coast: A Guide to Shallow-Water Decapods from Southeastern Alaska to the Mexican Border
Greg's writing is engaging, laced with dry humor, and packed with naturalist's insight. This book is information-rich, in every way. The narratives ring true and are in the voice of a seasoned naturalist who has spent a great deal of his life in the field- much of what you read in this book has never been published elsewhere... This is a book for every Pacific coast naturalist, scientist, and beachcomber. Every time you use it, it will offer up new and exciting information about the decapod you are examining, and bring a smile to your face. --From the Foreword by Richard BruscaGreg (has) married the evolution of books with past reader feedback to produce the ultimate reference for the professional biologist, the casual observer and everyone between...This reference stands out like the Space Needle on the Seattle skyline. --Andy Lamb, author and naturalist (Dive News Network)I have at least a dozen books on crustaceans and crustacean taxonomy, and this one, Crabs and Shrimps of the Pacific Coast by Gregory Jensen, has taken the genre to a whole new level with high-quality pictures, writing, layout and organization. Lucid and meticulously researched, it provides an invaluable contribution to our understanding of crustacean behavior. --Bob Rosenberry, Shrimp News International
