Life Between The Tides by Adam Nicolson

Connections animate the intertidal - that liminal zone where sea and land meet. How do sandhoppers inherit an inbuilt compass from their parents? How do crabs understand the tides? How can the death of one winkle guarantee the lives of its companions? And how far should our own lives be understood as an aspect of ecology?

The shifting condition of the tidal world - its pervasive uncertainty, its blend of opportunity and threat - makes it one of the most emblematic and revelatory habitats on earth.
