Life between the tides / Adam Nicolson ; animals and heroes by Kate Boxer ; maps and figures by Rosie Nicolson.

Nicolson, Adam, 1957- (author.). Boxer, Kate, 1961- (illustrator.). Nicolson, Rosie, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Adam Nicolson, the award-winning author of The Making of Poetry and The Seabird's Cry, explores the marine life inhabiting seashore rockpools with a scientist's curiosity and a poet's wonder in this beautifully illustrated book"-- Provided by publisher.
Inside each rock pool tucked into one of the infinite crevices of the tidal coastline lies a rippling, silent, unknowable universe. Below the stillness of the surface course the ebb and flow of the tide, the steady forward propulsion of the passage of time, and the tiny lifetimes of the rock pool's creatures, all of which coalesce into the grand narrative of evolution. Nicolson shows us that the world of the rock pools is infinite and as intricate as our own. -- adapted from jacket.
