A richly illustrated full‑color guide to the unique plants, wildlife, and environments of Cape Cod and the other nearby “Outer Lands” that face the Atlantic Ocean
 
"A true gift to anyone who loves the Cape."—Provincetown Banner

This essential guidebook presents the most abundantly illustrated and fascinating account of the natural history of Cape Cod, its nearby islands, Block Island, the western coast of Rhode Island, and southeastern Long Island ever published.

For nature-loving local residents and visitors alike, this essential book will be a treasured resource.
