Wave-Swept Shore: The Rigors of Life on a Rocky Coast
"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, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and recipient of 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, By Nature's Design, and Traces of Time and Yosemite: The Promise of Wildness"
