I am a Marine Biologist and this is the best book for the West Coast - Period!!.......2007-02-23
This is a timeless classic, very readable as the author puts you in a place (rocky intertidal or a mudflat) and then describes the animals you will see. It is written with a wise eye and wry humor. The long lived sea anemone in Scotland that was done in after 80 some years by the "ineptitude of (we suspect) a botanist".
It is more specific to central California, but still useful in Southern Calif and the northern coast as well.
A timeless classic.......2005-11-27
This is an amazing book. It was a landmark in its time, and is still useful today.
A Slightly Defaced Masterpiece.......2004-08-18
This book, as it was written, is a masterpiece of natural history. It is a contribution to humanistic biology that has style and description that is uncrippled by the invidious academic flatulence of the professional "scientist". It makes no pretensions. It was written by a man fascinated by the tidal seashore and the animals found therein. Read it and read it well.
Then read "Beyond the Outer Shores" by Eric Enno Tamm an unconventional biography of Ricketts that does full justice to the man and the myths.
Having gone through these impressive volumes I hope you will join me in despising Stanford University Press for what they did to Ricketts before his death and for allowing David Phillips to desecrate his memory in Edition Five.
Still & always the classic.......2003-07-13
This is probably THE serious book to have if one is going to immerse oneself in the California intertidal. Originally produced by Ed Ricketts (of Steinbeck/Cannery Row/Log From The Sea Of Cortez fame) the book has been upgraded, revised, re-edited by a plethora of "co-authors" since Ricketts' untimely death. It still retains much of Ricketts' then-revolutionary Habitat focus, which will either work for you (it does for me) or annoy the hard-core systematists out there. This ISN'T a light book to lug into the field or a light book to read -if you are just day-tripping The UC Press has a number of smaller & more accessibly illustrated field guides that I would reccomend, But if you are seriously into mmarine Bio and have some time on your hands along the California Coastline, you owe it to yourself to get this book. Even here on the Coast of Maine and twenty years removed from the West I still fid myself referring to it...
The standard field guide for the Pacific Coast of the USA.......1999-05-19
I can't believe that someone else has not reviewed this excellent guide to the intertidal biota of the Pacific Coast. This book has set the standard for reference guides to marine life along the Pacific Coast, as well as other locations. It is much more than a field guide -- though it also serves that role. This book describes the intertidal zonation patterns of the Pacific Coast as well as the ecology and aspects of the natural history of the organisms that live there. The book contains good taxonomic references as well. This is the book that many of the country's marine scientists cut their professional teeth on. If you are interested in marine biology, the diversity of life, or the ecology of nearshore habitats, this book is definitely for you. The main strength of the book is the logical organization by type of habitat and vertical elevation on the intertidal zone. The main challenge of a book like this is to remain up to date, which the publisher has managed by producing revised editions on regular basis. This book is a must for any field or arm chair marine naturalist!

Book Description
Susan Wiggs deftly portrays the struggles and triumphs of an American family facing life's greatest challenges as they come to understand the timeless lessons of the heart.
Grace Bennett has it all -- three wonderful children, a devoted husband and a life of adventure and travel. But beneath the calm demeanor of an efficient Navy wife, Grace stands at the crossroads -- of her life and her marriage. When she looks in the mirror, she doesn't recognize the person staring back. She's tired, out of shape and feeling invisible. Somewhere between her husband's demanding career, raising a family, the constant uprooting and the Navy's routine, Grace has lost her sense of self. Something needs to change. She needs to change.
Steve Bennett simply can't understand the unraveling of his wife's heart. He thought he was proving his love to her with each promotion. He believed he could still be a good husband and father while juggling an officer's myriad duties. But he now realizes they were seeing their marriage through different eyes. And when a nearly forgotten secret resurfaces, Grace's discontent comes into sharp focus. Now Steve must try to make their marriage right again before his next deployment. For himself. For his family. For the twenty years of shared history that have always anchored him to home.
Then duty calls.
Separated by an ocean of regrets and longing, Grace and Steve take a hard took at their faltering marriage, the love that brought them together and the family they cherish. They confront the choices they've made, the sacrifices they've rationalized and the dreams they've set adrift.
But just as they come to grips with their marriage, the unthinkable happens -- a disaster aboard Steve's aircraft carrier shatters Grace's world. As she gathers her children around her and waits for news, she faces a Navy wife's worst nightmare -- the cold truth that life's biggest chances can slip away while you're looking for guarantees.

Captures military life and the beautiful Pacific NW.......2007-07-17
When I read this, I thought, "she must be a military spouse...she has captured how we feel." Since I am a military spouse and author, I contacted her, wanting to make connection. Turns out she isn't a military spouse, and never has been. Which just goes to show how much research this novelist puts into her books.
As someone who has lived in the NW and a long time lover of lakes, I loved the setting as well. Whether you are military or not, if you've ever faced a time period of doubt in your life about your choices and life direction, you'll relate. A great summer read! Kathie Hightower, coauthor of Help! I'm a Military Spouse...I Get a Life Too!
The ocean between us.......2007-02-21
When I read this book, my husband was in the Navy and on a 6 month deployment. While I found the book slow throughout, the author does an excellent job of depicting military life, and the sacrifices that every man and woman in uniform, and their families make on a daily basis. Freedom really is not free.
Another brilliant and touching story from Susan Wiggs.......2007-02-16
Susan Wiggs is one of those authors I've stumbled across who seems very at home in many different genres and settings. I've read books of her set in different centuries and with very different stories/angles. "The Ocean Between Us" is set in modern times and it focuses on a husband and wife, Steve and Grace Bennett, and a time of learning and trouble in their relationship.
This sounds rather gloomy and in fact I was a little worried when I started the book that it would be depressing. There are some aspects of this book that are sad but the overall feeling is definitely uplifting. Steve is a Navy Captain who is away on an Aircraft Carrier for six months at a time; Grace has been a brilliant Navy wife, bringing up their three children well despite Steve's long absences. But now that Grace is turning forty she finds herself looking again at aspects of her life and wondering if it is worth carrying on with her marriage. A secret from Steve's past threatens her sense of security and with him away and her changing her life she wonders if there's room for him. There are some side-plots involving a friend of Grace's with her new Navy boyfriend, Grace's children and of course Steve's view of the situation from at sea.
I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of life at sea - and on land - for a Navy couple. There was a lot of detail about the Aircraft Carrier and flying a Prowler which was fascinating - and rather unusual for a book authored by a woman and aimed at women. I also thought that the way that Susan Wiggs described the sort of marriage that Navy personnel have - requiring long separations - was excellent.
Once again Susan Wiggs has provided an excellent book which explores human emotions, family and individuality and it's a book I can very much recommend.
Difficult choices and a sea of change.......2006-10-15
Sometimes change is provoked by a moment's reflection rather than life's big crises. Grace is startled one day when she looks at herself in the mirror and sees a frumpy, middle-aged woman staring back. Approaching her 40th birthday and dreading the impending departure of her two oldest children from home, Grace takes stock of herself and is dissatisfied with what she discovers. She is a mother and loyal Navy wife, but she longs for more. Her personal frustrations are magnified when a crisis threatens her marriage.
Susan Wiggs writes a satisfying story about love and family, honor and duty, and creates a nicely defined cast of characters. I found myself enlightened about the unique challenges that Navy personnel face because they live half of their lives an ocean away from their families at home. The family rituals of preparing for deployment, the way each character coped with the seperation, and the officer's sense of estrangement in a time of personal crisis on board ship was a poignant storyline.
Wiggs reminds us how soldiers make sacrifices in peacetime and throughout their lives as the call to serve their country sometimes demands that they make choices at the expense of their relationships with loved ones who are left behind. Highly recommended.
Heart Touching.......2006-06-03
My mom says the day my dad came home from Thailand during the Vietnam War, I looked at him and asked who he was.
I don't remember those days, but I do remember other times my dad was gone on military duty. I remember how he'd retired before the first Gulf War and how we were so afraid he'd get called up to leave us again.
My mom's told me stories of how hard it was to be a military wife. How just as she'd get used to being a single mom, Dad would come home. How she'd have to relearn the patterns of marraige. How resentful that made her sometimes. But how she loved my dad anyway.
Susan Wiggs captures every bit of the heart break, the passion, the uncertainty of loving a Navy man in this novel. Even if you have no experience with military family life, you'll walk away happy you gave this reunion story of sorts a chance. Every character feels real. The subplots move seemlessly through the main story. This is an awesome book!
Book Description
A fascinating world, filled with mystifying colors, textures, and hundreds of exotic life forms, exists practically in the shadows of the skyscrapers of coastal cities. Hidden and seemingly unknown, this intertidal marine world is inhabited by some of nature's most beautiful and interesting creatures. All of this is easily accessible to anyone interested in learning about this special environment, even beginning explorers and young children. Life Between The Tides can be the key to opening this world, even from the comfort of home.
Life Between The Tides is not only an excellent full color tidepool field guide, it is also a resource for students and anyone interested in marine life. In addition to descriptions and color photos of the intertidal marine inhabitants in their natural habitats, sections also describe the intertidal environment, scientific nomenclature, and species interrelations. A special section describes how the reader, with no special equipment, can "explore the intertidal" and experience firsthand the remarkable array of colors, shapes, sizes, and activities of the life forms. The purpose of the book is to help satisfy the curiosity of those interested in the marine animals and plants living "between the tides." All of the photos are with the relevant text, so the reader does not have to flip back and forth between descriptions and color photos. Life Between The Tides is currently being used extensively as a text in Marine Biology and Marine Ecology courses in colleges throughout California.

I Love It, I Love It, I Love It, I Love It, I Love It,.......2004-02-17
This book is great. Take it to the tide pools with you and look up the sea creatures you see. It will tell you what the animal is called and tell you about it. This is a great book for presents for people who love sea creatures. Jeff Brandon worked hard finding the creatures in their natural habitat, to take pictures of that sea creature. You will love this book. It is great to use for learning about the sea creatures in the ocean and at the tide pools. You will have a great time learning about the sea creatures. You will defiantly love this book.

During the dark days Kevin Patterson spent in the Canadian army on a desolate artillery base, his only solace--besides alcohol--was reading. He began to read travel literature--Redmond O'Hanlon, Eric Newby, Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Paul Theroux--and became attracted to the idea of the solitary nomad. Then he read Bruce Chatwin: first In Patagonia, then The Songlines--"and I was done for."
Looking back, I think that after reading Chatwin it became inevitable that I would set out for a blank horizon and an inhospitable environment. But a desire for withdrawal into desolate topography comes from some place other than a writer's evocative suggestion. And is fed by something other than optimism.
A broken heart following a brief but painful love affair drove Patterson to the end of the pier--and onto a 20-year-old, 37-foot ferro-cement sailboat called the Sea Mouse. No, he didn't know how to sail. He'd never been at sea before. But he was convinced it would be easy to learn, and that he needed to be alone at sea. In the end, Patterson set sail with a stranger--another man trying to leave everything behind him, but one who knew how to sail--to journey from British Columbia to Tahiti.
The Water In Between recounts their voyage. At times wryly funny, Patterson's tale is more often tinged with melancholy. The sailors meet other travelers, visit remote locales, and survive both storm and calm. Through it all, the shadowy presence of Bruce Chatwin remains at Patterson's side--and sometimes hangs around his neck like an albatross. Perhaps solitude was not the solution? As a storm raged around him, Patterson "sat there on my bouncing boat with an intimation of disquiet--if even Chatwin couldn't realize his ideal, what was I doing here, emulating him?"
Although landlubbers may be confused by some of the nautical language ("I hoisted a reefed mizzen sail and sheeted in tightly"), the strength and the heart of this book is Patterson's prose. His honest writing makes for smooth reading, but the inclusion of dozens of lengthy quotations from Patterson's favorite authors sometimes leaves the text choppy. Readers may also feel they've been left adrift by the abrupt ending. And if it's adventure you seek, look elsewhere (try The Perfect Storm or Fastnet, Force 10 for that). Those conditions aside, The Water In Between is a beautiful, somewhat haunting book--a thought-provoking meditation on solitude and the call of the wild unknown. --Sunny Delaney
Book Description
Wise, funny and beautifully written,
The Water in Between is an inspiring-and cautionary-tale for anyone who has ever wanted to escape into another life.
A stint in the army and a broken heart lead Kevin Patterson, who has never sailed before, to buy a 37-foot sailboat. He recruits a more experienced sailor-another brokenhearted guy-and together they set sail for Tahiti, hoping to burn away their miseries in hard miles at sea.
At first Patterson finds life under sail distinctly less heroic than the travel literature that has inspired him. But when his companion remains behind, Patterson single-handedly sails his boat across the North Pacific and through a perilous four-day gale, truly testing himself against the elements.

Feckless Voyage of Self Discovery.......2007-09-24
Christopher Buckley likens this book to Theroux's "Happy Isles of Oceania," but I do not agree. Patterson, totally inexperienced, buys a ferro-cement sailboat in British Columbia, adds two slight acquaintances, successfully sails to the South Pacific islands and then, alone, eventually returns (barely) to Seattle. However, this is less an account of a sailing venture than a personal self analysis of a not very interesting person who fumbles through the months as amateur sailor and beachcomber with little edifying result. Patterson is also given to including long, page-length quotes from several well-known sailing voyage authors that I have already read in the original, and I did not appreciate Patterson padding his less effective prose with those excerpts.
I go on a sailboat journey but don't discover myself..........2004-12-30
I'm a blue water arm chair sailor. I've read dozens of open water adventure books and this one is good but not great. So its worth a read for a number of reasons. One, if you are young, go on an adventure it will in general improve your outlook on life. Do it before you own a house, car, have a family of small children...
Don't go on it to get away from your troubles, they will be on the boat with you whether you pack them in your douffle or not. Kevin and Don both needed to grow up. One gets the feeling that Don did grow up but that Kevin hasn't yet. Oh well, in all likelyhood he will. But he has a ways to go, if the destructive relationships he has with the women in this book are any indication.
Now on the Sailing adventure part, which is why I was reading this book in the first place, its good. They have the usual storms, days just sitting, lots of general useful information like stay near the US coast until you are parallel with Hawaii, etc. Get a lighter weight boat hull than a fero cement (guck what a material!) Reef before you need to, do some shakedown cruises before you leave etc.
But the general message I got was, just go! Get the boat, find someone who knows how to sail, and leave! Don't obsess about the what if's. Bring friends, and dramaine and books and just go!
So its not J. Solcum's or Gypse Moth Circles the world, or Dove, but its in the same vein and I hope the sales of this book pay for some more adventures... Good luck Kevin, may the wind be at your back. May you find a woman to share your dreams with.
A sailing adventure for us sea chickens!.......2004-12-29
As a travelogue-addict who finds most adventurers' feats a bit daunting, this book seems just about perfect. Like The Perfect Storm and Paul Theroux's books, you'll learn a lot about boats, the wind, the waves, ocean crossings, islands, and more... And, refreshingly, Patterson deals with love, romance and heartbreak in a true way with a realistic but heartening conclusion. The same is true of his exploration of the appeal of expeditions and tropical islands.
Entertaining, educational, funny, enlightening, and wise.
from the prairies to the seas.......2004-09-05
I share with Patterson a common birthplace, and find it interesting that such dryland backgounds can inspire such wonderful prose about water. This is perhaps the best book about the therapuetic benefits that water and sailing can impart. I quoted Patterson's book frequently in my own recent overview book about outdoor recreation (including sailing) and water ethics - Deep Immersion: The Experience of Water (nominated for top environmental book of the year). Patterson well knows the magic that water can impart upon sentitive souls and would certainly agree with Thoreau's dreaming while sailing: "We were about to float over immeasurable zones of earth, bound on unimaginable adventures" (quoted in Profitably Soaked: Thoreau's Engagement With Water"; Green Frigate Books, 2003) i.e. the co-journey of sailing and exploring the outside world with that within.
Wonderful, thought provoking..........2004-08-18
I devoured this story. It spoke to me on so many levels. I have been a blue water sailor for many years and read many of the standards - none has ever captured the intense inner dialogue that I too have experienced on late night watches.
The book answered many of my own questions about why I am drawn to travel - then inexplicably pulled back home again.
Some of the longer passages where he heads of on different tangents didn't fit me on this read - but this will be one of those books I can put on the book shelf on my boat and pull out again and again.
I wonder if you need to be a traveller at heart to really 'get' this book? the negative reviews suprised me. I found it to be a beautiful insightful read though. It will be one of the books I look forward to sharing with friends in far away ports...

Braving the Waves: Rockaway Rises -- And Rises Again
ASIN: 0231128495 |
Book Description
Rockaway Beach was once a popular seaside resort in south Queens with a small permanent population. Shortly after World War II, large parts of this narrow peninsula between the ocean and the bay became some of New York City's worst slums. A historian who grew up in the community and his wife, a social worker, together present an illuminating account of this transformation, exploring issues of race, class, and social policy and offering a significant revision of the larger story of New York City's development. In particular, the authors qualify some of the negative assessments of Robert Moses, suggesting that the "Power Broker" attempted for many positive initiatives for Rockaway.
Based on extensive archival research and hundreds of hours of interviews with residents, urban specialists, and government officials past and present, Between Ocean and City is a clear-eyed and harrowing story of this largely African American community's struggles and resiliency in the face of grinding poverty, urban renewal schemes gone wrong, and a forced ghettoization by the sea.

Book Description
The Bering Strait Crossing is the epic story of the Intercontinental Divide. The ancient waterway - when the fog clears over the Diomede Islands - is among the world's most stunning vistas. This is where the 53-mile wide strait, named for Danish explorer Vitus Bering (1681-1741), separates four continents across the Europe-Asia landmass and the Americas. Isolation, extremes of climate, and geopolitical tensions have interfaced to create the perception of a frozen limbo at the edge of the world. Yet the Bering Strait is the world's geographical crossroads - linking East with West - for nowhere else on the globe is it possible to cross the Pacific overland, between Asia and the Americas. In the modern era, several schemes have been proposed - rail, ferry, tunnel - by which to cross the strait. Since the end of the Cold War, a scheduled air service has been in place. The strait remains undefeated in terms of a terrestrial link between the USA and Russia - so far. The author uncovers a world-shaping revelation: that the Bering Strait has the potential to become a global shipping nexus via the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route between Europe, North America, and Asia. In the early 21st century, the self-induced amnesia of the long Cold War years is yielding to a fresh outlook between East and West across the strait. In a world thirsty for energy resources and trade, the prospect for US-Russian cooperation across the northern Pacific Rim is tantalising in its multiplicity - and vastness - with profound implications for the global economy. James A. Oliver blends geography, exploration and international relations to recount a story that has, incredibly, been lost to the archives - but which belongs to the future as much as to the past. The Bering Strait Crossing is an adventure story that is still unfolding, and which, in the 21st century, stands as a frontier with new challenges on the horizon . . .From East and West, enter a cast of extraordinary protagonists: Pliny, Mercator, Dezhnev, Vitus Bering, Shelikhov, Captain Cook, William Gilpin, Roald Amundsen, and - since the end of the Cold War - George Koumal, whose vision for a mighty project to cross the strait is worthy of Jules Verne's Voyages Extraordinaire. . . "The Bering Strait crossing has a deep, worldwide significance." - Dr Yutaka Mochida

Book Description
A Place Between the Tides is an evocative mix of scientific observation and personal memories that captures the tremendous vitality and vulnerability of marshlands. For every nature writer there seems to be one special place that demonstrates the ways of the natural world and its relationship with humans. For Thoreau, it was a pond; for Annie Dillard, a creek; for author Harry Thurston, it is the salt marsh where land meets sea, one of the most biologically diverse habitats on Earth but one that is increasingly threatened.
This is the story of Thurston's return to the beloved environment of his boyhood. Elegantly moving back and forth in time, and deftly interweaving a naturalist's observations with a personal journey, he describes the seasons of the marsh over two decades. Altogether, Thurston documents more than 100 species of fish, birds, and mammals, a myriad of creatures hiding in tidal pools, and 70 species of plants.
Book Description
Even though the United States was still officially at peace prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it was secretly devising a chain of intelligence-sharing alliances with future allies in the impending war in the Pacific. This work is divided into four sections, which bring together bits and pieces of often isolated details about the intelligence alliance, allowing readers to gain a sense of how it came to exist, how it functioned and what were its limitations, often severe. Section One discusses the efforts of the Washington, Hawaii and Philippines units in breaking all cryptographic systems used by foreign powers. Section Two covers the roles of Canada and Australia, the secondary powers of the British commonwealth, the Dutch East Indies and China, the secondary independent powers, and other players in the Allied effort. Section Three concentrates on other covert intelligence sharing in London, Hawaii and the Philippines. Section Four ends the text with a discussion of the suppression and their revelation of the role of Great Britain.
