- catalog abstract ""Donald D. Cox uses nontechnical terminology to make this guide a standard introductory reference work for the general reader and the professional and amateur naturalist as well." "Creating a compendium of wide-ranging information about seashore ecology, Cox describes the origins of the oceans, tides, wind belts, and land plants. He includes the types of plants that grow near the seashore; adaptations that help plants survive in seashore habitats; poisonous, medicinal, and edible plants of the ocean and seashore; seasonal changes in the seashore habitat; and methods of naming plants including the folklore of common names." "Throughout this guide Cox emphasizes conservation and habitat preservation. For those readers who are interested in collecting plants and preserving plant collections, he provides complete and accurate details. For readers wishing to go beyond identifying and collecting plants, the final chapter describes nontechnical investigations, activities, and projects."--Jacket.".
