A considerable attention is given to case studies using ample illustrations and thorough analysis. Even after having wrecked in the Bermudas, the eventual arrival of the _Sea Venture_ survivors and their much needed supplies accumulated in Bermuda were absolutely essential to the continued existence of Jamestown. Within the Flames is the latest addition to the Dirk & Steel series, and it holds up to the high standards of the previous novels. It's also a must for every student of biology, ecology, or marine science. The universal cannot act on the plane of the particular except by becoming individualized upon that plane.
