Between Pacific Tides - 5th Edition,Annotated by Edward F Ricketts & Jack Calvin (Paperback)

Between Pacific Tides is a comprehensive guide to identifying invertebrate animals along the Pacific coast, featuring over 200 new photographs and drawings.

Written by renowned marine biologists, this revised edition includes an entirely new chapter on factors influencing distribution of organisms along the shore.

With grace and gusto, the book is generously illustrated and invaluable for anyone wanting to identify what they see along the beach.

As Steinbeck says in his foreword, "There are good things to see in the tidepools and there are exciting and interesting thoughts to be generated from the seeing." This edition also includes John Steinbeck's Foreword to the 1948 edition.

Whether you're a scientist or simply someone who loves nature, Between Pacific Tides is a must-have for anyone interested in the fascinating life processes of creatures that live in one of the most prolific life zones of the world--the rocky shores and tide pools of the Pacific Coast of the United States.
