About the Book

Not since "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" will you be so captivated by the antics of a Herring Gull as you will be by reading the beach book entitled "A Sea Gull's Realm." First, let me introduce you to Garth, the sea gull who is the hero of this tale. Garth and Jonathan share characteristics such as the will to overcome adversity, perseverance, inner strength and loyalty. They differ in that Jonathan exists in a mythical world of human values. Garth exists in the real world of sea gulls, yet is able to project similar human-like qualities. The story takes place on Long Beach Island, a barrier island off the coast of New Jersey. It makes fascinating reading for readers of all ages, especially those who have had the opportunity to observe these captivating birds in their natural setting. It is a powerful teaching tool that presents a naturalist's account of the physical characteristics, behavior and calls of gulls within the context of Garth's antics as he interacts with his fisherman friend and other gulls who dare to invade his chosen territory. In this fictionalized account, each chapter is based upon the actual observed behavior of Garth. The account is both revealing and exciting. Having read this book, you will never again observe gulls circling above as you have in the past. You will find yourself searching for the Garths in the flock, and if you are lucky, you may come face to face with Garth the seagull.
About the Author: Dr. Zdep is a behavioral scientist by profession and a fisherman by avocation. His work appears in the scientific literature, and he has also written a number of popular fishing articles. This is his first attempt at fiction, or actually, it might be described better as a fictionalized account of the behavior of one Herring Gull who became very special to him. Naturalist Niko Tinbergen has chronicled the characteristics and behavior of Herring Gulls in great detail, concluding that, by and large, they are not very intelligent. While the author concurs with many of Tinbergen's conclusions, he has discovered and come to know one Herring Gull who has exhibited a great capacity for learning and remembering what he has learned, as demonstrated through subsequent behavior. Many of the physical descriptions and types of sea gull behavior described in this book have been corroborated by Tinbergen, and the calls depicted herein are those made by gulls in various situations. The human-like qualities attributed to this gull are the product of the author's own imagination and serve to round out the experience of living for a summer with Garth, the sea gull.
