Great Nature Book

I really liked this book. It was very detailed and the pictures were great. I especially liked learning about horseshoe crabs' cool blue blood. I was really interested to learn about how migrating birds depend on them too. If you like horseshoe crabs, and you SHOULD, this is the book for you.

Awesome Horseshoe Crab Resource!

This book gives the reader a first hand view of the elusivehorseshoe crab! It deftly covers the anatomy, characteristics, range,and issues surrounding the little talked about, but much studied creature. The photos and text are outstanding, the best I've seen so far. I am a Biology teacher in Delaware, and find this book an invaluable addition to my Delaware Bay Ecology curriculum. This book will help all people interested in the crab to learn and understand its plight!
