"A reader's treat."--Time
"William W. Warner's book on blue crabs is called Beautiful
Swimmers, and beautiful is the word for it. Other words for it are
elegant, moving, informative, and provocative...His book, so
meticulously researched and gracefully written, is a small work of
art and a large joy for the reader."--Sports Illustrated
