<DIV>This is a coffee table-sized color book that has gathered in one place more information about all The Islands of San Francisco Bay, in text and photos, than any other. It focuses on Island ecology: birds, animals, plants and island topography. A collection of over 400 images showing dramatic nature scenery is coupled with in-depth information on the many species of birds' migrations, nesting and history. The "Islands" book, an anthology chronicling San Francisco Bay's 48 islands, aims to capture the wildness of these island habitats in the hope of boosting environmental awareness of this bay's unique island ecology.</DIV>
