    Fascinating Story about Incredible Creatures
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2012*

How could a practicing Buddhist, a secret bio-industrial laboratory, and the Lone Ranger belong together in a book called, Horseshoe Crab: Biography of a Survivor?  It would only work in the hands of a gifted storyteller like Anthony Fredericks.  Author of over 125 books for children and adults, Fredericks deftly spins a 445-million-year tale of a ten-eyed, blue-blooded living fossil--and the fascinating people who love, loathe, study, and fight to protect it. The writer's curiosity is palpable on every page and in every encounter with researchers, educators, and other experts determined to tease out more horseshoe crab secrets. Like all the best science books, Horseshoe Crab ponders more questions than it can fully answer:  How have crabs survived so long? What roles do they play in shorebird migration and in the underwater environment? What can we learn about horseshoe crabs that may improve human health and the functioning of ecological communities?  But the most important question Fredericks poses--Why should we care about these ancient and oft-ignored animals?--is answered convincingly again and again for anyone who takes the time to read this fascinating and significant book.

    The Best Horseshoe Crab Book EVER!
  

*by N***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013*

I started watching horseshoe crabs on Delaware Bay 40 years ago, and reading everything available about them- there wasn't much!  Now Tony Fredricks has written THE book I've waited for- everything in one place about the crabs. The breadth of research and readability mixed with Tony's wry sense of humor keeps one engaged like a novel.  I learned why the crabs do what they do and why. Their blood is among the most expensive fluids on the planet and some of our medical science is currently possible because the crabs are bled and then released. They are experiencing extreme habitat pressure and you can learn how to help them survive. The Spring mating season on the Bay beaches is one of the grand natural spectacles in the world. Tony has put all of this and more in one book, and you should read it before you go to the beaches of Delaware Bay and see it for yourself.  (Total transparency- Tony gathered some of his material at our beach in southern NJ)J. Tibbetts

    Gee Whiz!
  

*by K***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018*

Who knew there was so much to know about such a simple creature? I would never have guessed the eggs were so important in the long-distance migration of birds, for example. It seems everything I thought I knew about this animal was based on other peoples' guesses. The book is a vote for the scientific method. I am glad this book was recommended to me, and if you are a non-biologist with interest in the creatures around you, I would highly recommend this to you.
