Reviews
Beautifully written and enticingly presented, Rocky Shores is a gem. Drawing on the authors' expert knowledge and unbridled love of our seashores, this superb book takes us on a fascinating journey of exploration and discovery. As the sea encroaches and retreats, we witness a huge array of formations and wildlife and get a real sense of primeval awakenings on the wonder and value of nature. -- Professor Des Thompson FRSE
As packed with knowledge and enthusiasm as a rock pool is filled with strange and beautiful species - the details of which Archer-Thomson and Cremona describe so well. -- Maya Plass * BBC Wildlife *
The ability of these authors to communicate in a lively and memorable way shines out clearly in this beautifully written book. -- Frances Dipper * British Wildlife magazine *
