Reviews
Will quickly become a standard work for professionals and casual beach strollers alike.
In a guide of pleasant surprises, perhaps the greatest discovery is that so much wildness and beauty—things that are more and more associated with wilderness and remoteness—can still be found so near at hand, nearly in the back pocket of most of the large cities of the mid-Atlantic... [Silberhorn] has arranged his guide much like the coastal landscape itself, moving naturally from beaches to dunes and marine forests, then to salt and brackish marshes, and finally to the plants of the freshwater wetlands.
A superb guidebook for amateur naturalists, students in a variety of ecology-oriented courses, and gardeners who wish to assess new species.
Illustrates superbly with black-and-white drawings the many species of plants in this coastal region.
