"Why wouldn't seaweeds be a protean life source for the lives that have evolved since?" On a planet facing environmental change and diminishing natural resources, seaweed is increasingly important as a source of food and as a fundamental part of our global ecosystem. In Seaweed Chronicles, Shetterly takes readers deep into the world of this essential organism by providing an immersive, often poetic look at life on the rugged shores of her beloved Gulf of Maine, where the growth and harvesting of seaweed is becoming a major industry. While examining the life cycle of seaweed and its place in the environment, she tells the stories of the men and women who farm and harvest it--and who are fighting to protect this critical species against forces both natural and man-made. Ideal for readers of such books as The Hidden Life of Trees and How to Read Water, Seaweed Chronicles is a deeply informative look at a little understood and too often unappreciated part of our habitat."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 579.83 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList
