“Lobster is served three ways in this fascinating book: by fisherman, scientist and the crustaceans themselves. . . . Corson, who worked aboard commercial lobster boats for two years, weaves together these three worlds. The human worlds are surely interesting; but they can’t top the lobster life on the ocean floor.” — Washington Post In this intimate portrait of an island lobstering community and an eccentric band of renegade biologists, journalist Trevor Corson escorts the reader onto the slippery decks of fishing boats, through danger-filled scuba dives, and deep into the churning currents of the Gulf of Maine to learn about the secret undersea lives of lobsters. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
There are few behavioral adaptations that seem more odd to us than cannibalism. Scientists have noticed the rising incidence of lobster cannibals in recent years, and the reason may be connected to global warming. Readers will find the odd information about these and other crustaceans to be a fascinating study in animal adaptations, a crucial component of the elementary science curriculum. Vivid photographs and informative sidebars reinforce the engaging text.
