James R. Spotila draws on a lifetime of experience and knowledge to offer a comprehensive and compelling account of sea turtle evolutionary history, physiology, life cycle, and behavior. In addition, he provides an insider perspective on the worldwide conservation efforts being made on behalf of sea turtles. Illustrated with images by the world's leading nature photographers, Sea Turtles opens with an informative overview of the seven species, from diet and mating habits to the female turtle's epic journey to lay her eggs on the same beach where she herself had hatched years before. Spotila then devotes individual chapters to each of the species of sea turtle.
