Bookshop West Portal is excited to celebrate the publication of Ocean Beach: Fog, Flora, and Fauna. San Francisco locals, author and scientist Eddy Rubin and illustrator Greg Wright, joined forces to create a wonderful portrait of our neighborhood shores in this work of art that shares the story of how the beach came to be."
"Longtime local surfer and scientist Eddy Rubin celebrates this magical sandy stretch through stories of its animals and plants and the natural and human forces that have shaped this coastal environment. From sand dollars and seaweed to the snowy plovers in the dunes, and stretching out to the seals and whales offshore, Rubin profiles twenty-nine local flora and fauna with wonder and curiosity."
Ocean Beach: Fog, Flora, and Fauna presents a charmingly illustrated nature guide to Ocean Beach and its coastal ecology. The guide profiles twenty-nine local plants and animals, from sand dollars and seaweed to snowy plovers, seals, and offshore whales. Explanations of weather patterns and geological forces describe how the sandy ecology formed. More than forty full‑color artworks vividly depict species and landscapes. The work encourages exploration of the shoreline, learning from surfers and fishermen about marine life, and stewardship to protect the shared expanse of sand. Personalized signed copies are available at an event featuring the creator and the illustrator.
