THE ABALONE BOOK. by Howorth.
Life history, species, conservation, gathering, preparing. Marvel at iridescent swirls gracing abalone shell interiors, or exclaim over the
first bite of an abalone steak. Identification keys, information on cleaning and
preparing, plus plenty of recipes.
Easy-to-understand key to identification of the various abalone species
(complete with color photographs), a history of abalone harvesting on the west
coast (both commercial and sport), discusses both natural (sea otter) and
manmade (pollution) problems facing the abalone, a step-by-step guide for
cleaning the abalone. Five
sections of the book detail evolution of abalone, problems existing and
developing in the abalone resource, its life cycle, the different species (eight
different varieties inhabiting the Pacific, specifically the West Coast of North
America) and preparation of the meat. Throughout, Howorth advocates sensitivity
to the abalone's habitat, the creature's seasons and habits, and respect for all
legislation and harvest guidelines established to preserve our diminishing
western abalone populations. 56 photos and
drawings (24 color), 80p.

LIFE ON INTERTIDAL ROCKS: a guide to marine life of the rocky North Atlantic coast.
by Cherie Hunter Day.
Identifies plants and animals (Kelp, Sea
Anemones, Sea Slugs, Crabs, and Starfish, and many more) that live in the
intertidal zone of the rocky Atlantic Coast, from Rhode Island north to the
Bay of Fundy.
The granite bedrock of this glacier-scoured coast forms a habitat with many
places for living things to hide. The twice-daily rise and fall of the sea
with the tides creates the intertidal zone, extending from the splash zone,
which gets wet from wave splash at high tide, but is never under water, to
the lower zone, which is exposed only during the most extreme low tides.
Organisms that live here endure many stresses, including winter cold and
ice, alternating exposure and submersion, pollution, and the danger of being
ripped away by waves during a storm. This book will help you identify
organisms that live in and on tidepools, rocks, pilings, and wharves, and understand how they survive. Illustrated with the author's clear and
detailed line drawings. 64 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.
