Greystone BooksA Place between the TidesA Naturalist's Reflections on the Salt MarshBased upon childhood memory and his naturalist’s journals, A Place between the Tides is the story of Harry Thurston’s return to the beloved environment of his boyhood when he moves to the Old Marsh on the banks of the Tidnish River in Nova Scotia. The book describes the seasons in the life of the marsh as filtered through two decades of Thurston’s living there.
