SEAWEED CHRONICLES: A WORLD AT THE WATERS EDGE (ALGONQUIN)

An ancient and vital part of nature's ecosystem, seaweed is emerging as an increasingly important source of food in a world faced with diminishing natural resources. Acclaimed nature writer Susan Hand Shetterly opens a window into the world of this fascinating organism by providing an elegant, often poetic look at life on the rugged shore of the Gulf of Maine. Shetterly offers a close look at the life cycle of seaweed, and introduces us to the men and women who farm and harvest it.
