Dune




This is Ecological studies no. 171, "Coastal dunes: Ecology and Conservation", edited by Martinez and Psuty. A scientific, technical book on sand dunes. Some chapters sound more "geological" than biological. Others deal with the flora and fauna of sand dunes, and their conservation or exploitation. Case studies from South Africa and the Netherlands.

If you think of going career (or going mustang) at some natural science department, this is definitely for you. If not, Amazon also sells books on the experimental biology of bryophytes, the phylogenetic distribution of vascular epiphytes, the meaning of life and other subjects we didn't even suspect existed.
