A revised edition of the classic work, originally published by the Peabody Museum of Salem. One of the best handbooks available for those interested in exploring the seashore populations and general ecology of northern New England waters and Cape Ann. The perfect companion guide for the serious student of marine biology or the enthusiastic amateur adventurer and ecologist.A new printing of this book could not be more timely. If you take it and go down to the water, I imagine you will return again and again, and like the authors, be inspired to love and protect the sea that is all about us. From the Foreword by Deborah Cramer, Author of Smithsonian Ocean: Our Water Our WorldThe Sea is All About Us has been a treasured guide for over 40 years and endures as the best handbook available for exploring this stretch of New England coast. I am delighted that it has been updated and reprinted, so I can continue to recommend it for all who seek to know more about this region's remarkable marine and coastal habitats. Jane Winchell, The Sarah Fraser Robbins Director, Art & Nature Center, Peabody Essex MuseumA very useful companion for a trip to this fascinating habitat, whether it is your first trip to the tide zone or you are returning to visit 'slimy old friends.' Edward S. Gilfillan, Bowdoin CollegeI am delighted to see this field guide being reprinted. It was a welcome text for laymen and field biology classes 40 years ago and has stood the test of time. Sandra E. Shumway, University of ConnecticutYou are holding in your hot little hands one of the best field companions to the intertidal marine life of Cape Ann and the Gulf of Maine. More than just a dry taxonomic guide, Robbins and Yentsch do a superb job of making sense of the diverse intertidal environments of northern New England. Designed to be thrown in your backpack along with your water, hat and binoculars, it will help you interpret the secret world found in those intertidal cracks and crevices, a magical world of unbelievable biodiversity and wonder. Rachel Carson would be proud! Barney Balch, Bigelow Lab for Ocean Sciences, East Boothbay, Maine
