Author: Sejal Mehta
Publisher: Penguin Viking

“Sejal Mehta’s book opens up the rich and fascinating world of intertidal organisms to anyone with the inclination to pause and look at what a receding tide reveals. Day or night, this zone can thrill you with its inhabitants, be it an unexpected octopus on a Mumbai beach or the glowing plankton in the tidal pools of a rural coastline. There is much beauty, drama, and resilience in the beings of this zone, so diverse in form and function. A walk along the beach may never be the same again once you have read Superpowers on the Shore.”
