"The best-written and best-illustrated guide ever about a North American tidal estuary. It is the model for all future coastal nature guides." -
Whole Earth Review
Life in the Chesapeake Bayis the most important book ever published on America's largest estuary. Since publication of the first edition in 1984, tens of thousands of naturalists, boaters, fishermen, and conservationists have relied on the book's descriptions of the Bay's plants, animals, and diverse habitats. Superbly illustrated and clearly written, this acclaimed guide describes hundreds of plants and animals and their habitats, from diamondback terrapins to blue crabs to hornshell snails.
Now in its third edition, the book has been updated with a new gallery of thirty-nine color photographs and dozens of new species descriptions and illustrations. The new edition retains the charm of an engaging classic while adding a decade of new research.
This classic guide to the plants and animals of the Chesapeake Bay will appeal to a variety of readers-year-round residents and summer vacationers, professional biologists and amateur scientists, conservationists and sportsmen.
"Handsome, generously illustrated ... All of the Bay's richness is catalogued here." -
The Washington Post Book World
