The Nature of Florida's Beaches Including Sea Beans, Laughing Gulls and Mermaids' Purses
A former senior editor at the Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory at Cape Canaveral, Cathie Katz has written several wildlife books from her home in Melbourne, Florida. Cathie has lived in Israel, Holland, Germany, Spain and Portugal, studying a broad range of natural habitats. She was a superb wildlife illustrator and the founder of The Drifting Seed newsletter with Dr. Charles R. Gunn, and director of an annual International Beachcombers' Symposium. The book she was working on at the time of her death in 2001, "Beaches and Beyond," was to be an illustrated book about the behaviors of ocean animals to show that science and spirit are inseparable. With her energy and enthusiasm, Cathie was an inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to have crossed her path.
