A detailed tour of one of the most interesting natural wonders
of Long Island, The Walking Dunes takes you on a colorful tour
of this fascinating ecological anomaly. Many color photographs
by Ruth Formanek capture the varied topologyand the unique flora,
while Mike Bottini's text delves deep into the whys and wherefores.
In her preface, Ann Johnson proclaims, "From the sweeping
panorama at the crest of the dunes, to the Lilliputian cranberry
bogs at their base,
Ruth Formanek and Mike Bottini closely intertwine pictures and
words to give us both an overview of the world of the Walking
Dunes, and close-up views of its inhabitants and how they survive
there."
