Fun and learning come together in Georgia's Amazing Coast, an inviting collection of one hundred short, self-contained features about the flora, fauna, and natural history of that fascinating place where land meets sea. Each page includes a full-color illustration and breezy, fact-filled commentary on coastal wildlife from fifty-foot-long northern right whales to single-cell plankton, from shy coyotes to overbearingly sociable sand gnats. Readers will learn about the lifespan of the gopher tortoise, the acting talents of the hognose snake, the health benefits of eating pawpaws, the importance of tidal fluctuations, and much more. Written for the general reader, yet solidly researched, Georgia's Amazing Coastwill spark our sense of wonder and inspire us to learn even more about our natural heritage and what all of us can do to preserve it.Bryant, David is the author of 'Georgia's Amazing Coast Natural Wonders from Alligators to Zoeas' with ISBN 9780820325330 and ISBN 0820325333.
