About this listen

Glimpse the wonders of a hidden world.

An ancient, and vital, part of nature's ecosystem, seaweed is now emerging as an increasingly important source of food in a world faced with diminishing natural resources.

In Seaweed Chronicles, 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 - and their increasingly difficult task of protecting this critical natural resource against forces both natural and man-made.

Ideal for fans of such books as The Hidden Life of Trees and How to Read Water, Seaweed Chronicles is a beautiful tribute to a little-known part of our country and a significant contribution to our understanding of our natural habitat.

So beautifully written - a joy to listen and learn

What a fantastic book! I'm studying a Business in Aquaculture class with the University of Boston Massachusetts and this was our reccomended course text - I'm so thankful it was! Susan is capable of painting with words. Not only do I feel as though I've traveled the beautiful coasline of Maine, but I was also delivered a rich and rounded understanding of the importance of seaweed as a habitat, provider of jobs, healthy food, fertiliser, and more. The book allows the reader to take a peek into the lives of those who understand the importance of sustainable aquaculture and learn their important lessons. Thank you Susan!
