A great pocket guide to Caribbean Seashores
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is an ideal book for beachcombers with an interest in natural history or for marine biology students on a Caribbean field trip. It is a bit more than your standard identification guide as it has substantial sections of natural history. Kaplan was the founder and director of the Hofstra University Marine Lab for many years and this book reflects his decades of fisled experience and enthusiasm for teaching marine biology in the field.

Don't Leave Home Without It!

I have taken Kaplan's field guide to seashores to Florida Keys, the Bahamas, the USVI, The BVI, Bonaire, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Curacao, and have found the book to be indispensible. No matter which island, each seashore seemed familiar, and with a little judicious reading beforehand,I understood whatever natural phenomena I saw, from snorkelling in the shallows to walking the rocky shore to crawling around the red mangrove roots. I would no sooner leave this field guide home when I go to the Carribbean or Florida, than leave home my Michelin Guide to Europe when I go there. I recommend the Field Guide to Seashores to all nature lovers and snorkelers who want to make the best of their trip to the the Caribbean or Florida.
