The tide pool is a whole civilization if you know how to look. Edward Step introduces the life of the shore and shallow sea: sponges, jellyfish, anemones, sea stars, crabs, and lobsters, each explained with a naturalist's clarity. A classic seaside companion for the rock pool and the beach walk. For anyone who has crouched over a pool wanting names for the wonders.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
