Sobre este artículo
(Cape Town: Struik, 1988) 0869771159. 4to; original turquoise boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 272, incl. index; lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs and text figures. Merest trace of edgewear to slightly rubbed dustwrapper, with a little foxing to reverse side; edges of boards very slightly rubbed; earlier owner's name signed on front pastedown; a little light foxing to outermost leaves. Very good condition. "The southern African coastline has excited marine biologists and oceanographers for generations. A great deal of research has been undertaken, winning international acclaim, but it has remained locked away in scientific journals largely inaccessible to the layman. In The Living Shores of Southern Africa, Professor George Branch writes with a vitality born of his great enthusiasm for the sea, and in so doing shares with the widest audience the excitement of marine biology and the adventure of recent discoveries." .
