<p>Although their stony colonies seem impervious to harm, coral reefs are fragile marine communities under seige. 43 dazzling photos compare Indo-Pacific & Caribbean reefs in a photographic bouquet of colors, textures, & patterns. The beauty of the reef extends to the book's design, which continually surprises. More than a pretty face, this book by Dwight Holing talks about the ecology & history of reefs worldwide & introduces reader to the rich, surprising & occasionally droll relationships between coral animals & plants. The lives of characteristic coral inhabitants, such as trigger fish, crinoids, sponges, & star coral, get special treatment. The wide variety of ways in which its citizens eat, hunt, mate & seek refuge are covered in some detail. As with other Blake nature books, readers get a strong environmental message about the reef & how best to protect it & other marine habitats. A detailed list of where to see natural reefs & artifical ones accompanies a world map. A book that divers, artists, students with reports to write, & librarians on limited budgets will like equally.</p>

<p>The Chumash people have lived for centuries along the California coast between Malibu and San Luis Obispo. They were on hand to greet Cabrillo in 1542 and Gaspar de Portola in 1769. They coexisted with the Spanish communities of the Southern California Missions. And there are still about three thousand people of Chumash ancestry living in Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties. Here, for the layman and the tourist, is a concise, entertaining, and informative view of a noble and important people: their history, their way of life, their arts, their beliefs and legends</p>

"Sharon Lewis Dickerson explores the lightly-traveled roads, pointing out landmarks and recounting local history. From Mission San Miguel Arcangel and the Piedras Blancas lighthouse in the north to Oso Flaco Lake and the Dana Adobe in the south, Dickerson takes you on a leisurely guided tour of SLO County's little-known areas." "The book details 20 different cycling day trips, rated easy to very difficult. Specific mileages, road conditions and directions are given as is information on food, water, restrooms and picnic facilities. Add to that quality photographs and accurate maps and this book becomes an invaluable companion for any adventurer exploring SLO County." -from the back cover
