Beachcombing for Beginners
by Norman Hickin
|
| The good beachcomber is an honorary warden of the beaches he visits. |
Many, young and old, from all walks of life, take their leisure and enjoyment in walking along shores. The freshness and brightness of the seashore, the treading on virgin sand and often the remoteness and the freedom from man-made noise give refreshment to many.
In addition to the simple pleasures of beach walking, many will enjoy the observation and collection of the shore-dwelling and marine organisms which have been stripped from their niches by the tides and cast upon the beach.
The characteristic flora and fauna, to be picked up from the shore, have always been an essential component of a child's holiday by the sea, but they are simple pleasures that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Beachcombing for Beginners deals exclusively with the marine natural history element in beachcombing. There are many treasures to be found in pattern, form, texture and color amongst the animal and plant remains left along the tidemarks of our shores. Sponges, corals, starfish, sea-urchins, seashells and cephalopoda are just some of the treasures to be found that are described in this book.
Beautifully illustrated by the author with over 70 scraperboard illustrations, Beachcombing for Beginners will show you how much fun can be obtained by beachcombing.
