Sobre este artículo
New York: Macmillan. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. Full color frontispiece with tissue. Xiv, 659 pp. Illustrated with 12 color plates accompanied by guard sheet with descriptive letterpress (including frontis.) Intext figures and black & white photographs. Glossary. Index. Olive green cloth with bright dark green cover title and gilt spine title and embossed cover design. Some rubbing on the ends. Red stain on the foot of the back board. A few light spots in the margins of the text block. The marine life of the seashores of the Pacific Coast is a historicaly important work; a monumental breakthrough in equality for women considering that it was written 89 years ago, it was the second book written about the California Seahore and 12 years before Ed Ricketts' book, Between Pacific Tides, in 1939. Considered the bible of the seashore by naturalists and teachers for many years; reprinted by Dover publication, unabridged and unaltered edition in 1967, it is now considered a collectible albeit outdated text. ; 8vo .
