For the Animal Lover
Whether your friend volunteers each summer on sea turtle patrol or just enjoys learning about marine creatures, Sea Turtles of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States will delight. The book thoroughly describes species that frequent those areas. An introduction to sea turtles’ lives precedes chapters dedicated to particular species: leatherback, loggerhead, Kemp’s ridley, olive ridley, green turtle, and hawksbill. Who knew that green turtles aren’t green and loggerheads are carnivores? By Carol Ruckdeschel and C. Robert Shoop, 2006; $19.95. Visit ugapress.com.
