"--Andrew Ashton, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution "I have just spent an afternoon thumbing through an incredible book that explains Cape Cod in a fashion that I have the extreme good fortune to see every day, both wandering through the Museum and its surrounding habitat. Patrick Lynch's book is a reminder of just why Cape Cod is such a remarkable place."--Robert F. Dwyer, President & Executive Director, Cape Cod Museum of Natural History "Wow! I've been on Cape Cod since 1976 as naturalist, writer and educator, and have collected every book on Cape Cod including Thoreau's. No book is as thorough or as well illustrated. Pat Lynch is a very talented author."--Phil Kyle, Cape Cod Times.
