The Living Dock
Jack Rudloe
  ISBN-10: 0820012068     ISBN-13:9780820012063
Size 6 x 9 inches, 264 pages, b&w and color illustrations by Walter Inglis Anderson, index. © 2003
Sometimes, a dock isn't just a dock, it's a habitat. In the tiny fishing community of Panacea, the author's floating dock nurtures an abundance of marine life. Crabs, worms, mollusks and algae make their home there, feeding fish and other creatures higher up the food chain. These also feed author Jack Rudloe's business, Gulf Specimen Marine Lab, which supplies specimens to research and teaching institutions: marine fauna from his dock, fo nearby mud flats and beaches, and netted offshore from his little shrimp boat Penaeus. This entertaining and educational book looks at the life histories of some of these creatures and recounts Rudloe's experiences in collecting them, in the process examining man's relationship with the natural world.

  ISBN-10: 0820010197     ISBN-13:9780820010199
Size 5-1/2 inches x 8-1/2 inches, 88 pages, illustrated.
While on a cruise to Havana in 1911, Jack Beater heard part of the Gasparilla story. That piqued an interest that persisted for fifty years, as he pored over old books and records and talked endlessly to early settlers to hear more hand-me-down yarns. This book recounts some of his best tall tales.

Search for the Great Turtle Mother
Jack Rudloe
  ISBN-10: 082001205X     ISBN-13:9780820012056
Size 6 x 9 inches, 264 pages, illustrated, index. © 2003
Could ancient peoples who worshipped the sea turtle have understood complex magnetic principles that modern scientists are only now putting together? This captivating eco-travelogue blends science, mythology, and conservation ethics. It describes the author's journeys in Central America and Malaysia, where he probed the hypothesis that geomagnetic forces guide sea turtle migration and investigated the ancient Turtle Mother legend that influenced the conservation ethic of primitive cultures.

The Wilderness Coast
Jack Rudloe
  ISBN-10: 0820012076     ISBN-13:9780820012070
Size 6 x 9 inches, 264 pages, line illus., color photos, index. © 2004
The `wilderness coast`--that portion of the Florida Panhandle that juts south into the Gulf of Mexico--is home to Gulf Specimen company and the source of most of the marine creatures that it supplies to educational institutions and research facilities. But the pursuit of unsual sea creatures and the answers to puzzling biological questions takes Jack and Anne Rudloe elsewhere, too. The farthest depths of the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys, Port Canaveral, even Surinam--these are the scenes of their activities. Like any profession, specimen collecting has its attendant hazards: being slashed by a sawfish, zapped by an electric ray, nipped by a sea turtle, or attacked by an alligator. More perilous yet is being caught in 50 fathoms of water in a violent storm in a less-than-seaworthy boat. These and other adventures are recounted in this entertaining and informative book.
