Synopsis

First published in 1954, The British Seashore is written for those who love to wander along the coast- along the beaches of shingle and sand, the rocky shores, in the salt marshes, and up steep cliff paths. For the coastline of Britain is one of the most varied in the world, not only in its general scenery but also in the many interesting animals and plants which it supports. Fishes, winkles, mussels, starfish, crabs and jellyfish-these are the commonly known animals of the shore, but equally common although not so well known are the sea firs, sea cucumbers, sea squirts and many others- some very beautiful and all worth knowing about. But it is not enough just to know the names of these animals and plants; and in this book much is told of their habits, how they grow and feed, and affect each other 's lives, and of how shellfish, seaweeds and seaside plants are used by man, either for food or for manufacturing purposes. This is a book for general readers interested in seashores.
