Summary: If you've ever walked along a beach or rocky shore and peered, poked or wondered at the things cast upon it by the waves, this book is for you. Beaches are our windows to the ocean, and the objects we find on them tell stories about life, death and dynamic processes in the sea. Beachcombing will help you to understand what you find on beaches, and the intriguing reasons these objects and organisms have come to be there.
