Island Flora And Fauna Seen Through The Eyes Of Renowned Local Author, Charles Sobczak, Sanibel & Captiva

asp-press-shotIsland Flora And Fauna Seen Through The Eyes Of Renowned Local Author, Charles Sobczak, Sanibel & Captiva

If you love nature and live on Sanibel or enjoy time on the Island as a visitor, there is one book that is a “must have” for your personal reference library, Living Sanibel, a nature guide for Sanibel & Captiva Islands by renowned resident author, Charles Sobczak   There is something to “tickle everyone’s outdoor world fancy” in this amazing, comprehensive field guide that includes 540 full-color photographs, illustrations and trail maps.

On March 2, 2010 at 10 a.m., Charles Sobczak will provide a program for The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum.  He will share his experiences compiling the material for his most recent book which not only provides a pictorial guide of Sanibel’s critters but also includes identification tips, anecdotal field experience and practical information about the Island’s kayak and hiking trails. The emphasis of the program will be shells, which hold a special fascination for Charles. The program is free with admission to the Museum.

The Shell Museum has more than a passing interest in Charles’ new release.  Charles’ son, Blake, spent several days at the Museum taking photographs of Sanibel shells in the Museum’s holdings.  Dr. José H. Leal Director/Curator of The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum contributed a number of photographs from the Museum’s online guide to the shells of southwest Florida and served as the project’s shell expert.

“Living Sanibel reminds us once again of the vast natural treasures and biodiversity so well preserved on Sanibel, and will remain the definitive treatise on the islands’ natural history and environment for years to come,” shared Dr. José H. Leal.

Charles’ avocation as an author began in 1999 with the first of four novels, Six Mornings on Sanibel. In 2005 Charles made the switch to non-fiction, penning the award winning Alligators, Sharks & Panthers: deadly encounters with Florida’s Top Predator – Man.

“Charles is sure to captivate the audience,” reports Kathleen E. Hoover, the Museum’s Public Relations manager. “You only have to be with Charles for a few minutes to experience his unbridled enthusiasm for Sanibel and its unique biodiversity.  His passion for sharing the Island’s story is contagious!”

A book signing will take place immediately following the program. For further information about the program please call Diane Orvis Thomas, Public Programs Specialist Programs Specialist, at 239.395.2233.
