Life in the Chesapeake Bay

Life in the Chesapeake Bay by Robert L Lippson. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780801830129.

"Life in the Chesapeake Bay is the most important book ever published on Americas largest estuary. Since publication of the first edition in 1984, tens of thousands of naturalists, boaters, fishermen, and conservationists have relied on the books descriptions of the Bays plants, animals, and diverse habitats. Superbly illustrated and clearly written, this acclaimed guide describes hundreds of plants and animals and their habitats, from diamondback terrapins to blue crabs to hornshell snails." Now in its third edition, the book has been updated with a new gallery of thirty-nine color photographs and dozens of new species descriptions and illustrations. The new edition retains the charm of a classic while adding a decade of new research.
