Now, the second edition of this supremely comprehensive guide has even more to satisfy the curious beachcomber, including expanded content and additional accounts with more than 1800 full-color photographs, maps, and illustrations. It heralds the living things and metaphorical life along the state's 700 miles of sandy beaches. The expanded second edition now identifies and explains over 1400 curiosities, with lavishly illustrated accounts organized into Beach Features, Beach Animals, Beach Plants, Beach Minerals, and Hand of Man. Review: As good as everybody says it is - I'll just be one more chiming in that this book is worth getting if you plan to spend any time on the coast of Florida and want to learn what you'll be seeing when you do. Since moving back to the Atlantic side of south Florida I've been spending a lot of time at the beach. I've developed a fondness for shell collecting and that's what led me to eventually find this book. I needed a good shell identification guide. I almost bought another book, but an desertcart reviewer recommend this book over the other I was about to buy, so out of curiosity I checked out the review page which was nothing but 5 star review after 5 star review. What impressed me was seeing that it covers the entire gambit of everything and anything a person may find at the beach, from shells to corals, sponges, jellyfish, land and water animals, plant/tree life, seabeans and seeds and even drift item that commonly wash ashore. And more! The opening chapter is devoted to explaining the anatomy of a beach and all its components, which is very informative. I bought it for the shell identification guide primarily but it's been great for everything else. As others have mentioned it's full of photographs on every page, a corresponding map telling you where in Florida you'll tend to find each particular item and during what season, and is a well organized, easy and fun to read high quality book. It's a must-own resource if you visit Florida beaches and like to learn about what you're surrounded by. And as far as I can tell, every shell I've found so far was in the book. And it was nice to learn exactly *why* one of my fave beaches is always a milky seagreen color, versus others that tend to be a rich blue green. :D It's all in here. Review: Great book with all the info we needed and more - We went shelling in Naples, Florida and came back with some truly amazing seashells, but we quickly realized we wanted to learn everything we could about what we had found. That’s when we picked up Florida’s Living Beaches, a Guide for the Curious Beachcomber, and it completely changed our beachcombing experience. After getting this book, we now feel like seashell pros! It is beautifully written and packed with so much detailed, fascinating information about the shells, the beaches, and the coastal life of Florida. Every page made us more excited to identify and understand our own little collection. This book has been such a wonderful companion to our beach adventures, and we can’t recommend it enough for anyone who loves shelling or exploring Florida’s shores. 🐚🌊 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #84,586 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Seashells (Books) #17 in Coastal Ecosystems #154 in Outdoors & Nature Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 1,089 Reviews | ## Images ![Florida's Living Beaches: A Guide for the Curious Beachcomber - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O13BGHnGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as everybody says it is *by C***. on February 13, 2013* I'll just be one more chiming in that this book is worth getting if you plan to spend any time on the coast of Florida and want to learn what you'll be seeing when you do.
