| In this intimate portrait
of an island lobstering community and an eccentric band of renegade biologists,
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. In revelations from
the laboratory and the sea, the lobster proves itself to be not only a delicious
meal and a sustainable resource, but also an amorous master of the boudoir, a
lethal boxer, and a snoopy socializer. THE SECRET LIFE
OF LOBSTERS is a rollicking oceanic odyssey punctuated by salt spray, melted
butter, and predators lurking in the murky depths. |
