The Lyons Press is proud to announce the second book in its series of nature anthologies in partnership with The Nature Conservancy -- the renowned conservation organization over 900,000 members strong, that works to protect the biodiversity of our oceans. In this volume we celebrate the coastal regions of the world with twenty-two literary works that range over three continents, two oceans, and a hundred and fifty years: Charles Darwin on the island shores of the Indian Ocean; John Muir on Alaska's coast in the 1800s; Rachel Carson on the reef flats of Florida; Barry Lopez on beached whales on the Oregon coast; Rick Bass on the effects of tourism on an island paradise; and more.
