I’ve seen nothing comparable, with the exception of White’s Chesapeake Bay Field Guide, which is much more brief. Much more brief probably suits many people – this book is quite detailed. But for lovers of the Bay with inquiring minds the detail is welcome. And there’s a great wealth of first-rate illustrations. The two books have inestimably enriched my visits and paddles around the Bay’s tributaries, marshes, swamps and shores, along with a few other flora & fauna guides and paddling guides, especially Ed Gertler’s. For those of us who live near the Bay and truly treasure it, the understanding it provides of how the Bay was formed, how it functions, how rich, variable and fragile it is, and how human activities affect it is invaluable.

Life in the Chesapeake Bay is the most important book ever published on America's largest estuary. Since publication of the first edition in 1984, tens of thousands of naturalists, boaters, fishermen, and conservationists have relied on the book's descriptions of the Bay's plants, animals, and diverse habitats. Superbly illustrated and clearly written, this acclaimed guide describes hundreds of plants and animals and their habitats, from diamondback terrapins to blue crabs to hornshell snails. Now in its third edition, the book has been updated with a new gallery of thirty-nine color photographs and dozens of new species descriptions and illustrations. The new edition retains the charm of an engaging classic while adding a decade of new research. This classic guide to the plants and animals of the Chesapeake Bay will appeal to a variety of readers--year-round residents and summer vacationers, professional biologists and amateur scientists, conservationists and sportsmen.
