Sierra Club Books: The World of the Sea Otter

More about the book

Long admired by nature lovers and marine scientists, the sea otter is extraordinarily well adapted to the sea, where it can spend an entire life span eating, sleeping, giving birth, and rearing its young without ever coming ashore. Richly illustrated, The World of the Sea Otter is both an authoritative natural history and a visual celebration of this playful creature. "This book is a work of art -- from the attractive format, to the superb color photos, to the clear writing ... the love that both author and photographer obviously have for their subject makes this book a delight to any reader.... Highly Recommended" -- The Book Report "This graceful weaving of text and photography combines the natural history of the sea otter with the story of the species' struggle for survival.... The end result is a call to action for this endangered species." -- Animals "The World of the Sea Otter is both a scientific look into the life of the sea otter and a pictorial showcase of the creature's habits, hunting methods, and social behavior, including its fight for survival." -- Outdoor Travel & Photography
