Praise for The Curious World of Seaweed by Josie Iselin (2019): ""A mesmerizing swim through a liminal world."" —Barbara Kiser, Nature ""Seaweed is literally the roots of our ocean."" —Fabien Cousteau, ocean explorer, documentary filmmaker and eldest grandson of Jacques Cousteau ""Who knew seaweed portraiture could probe the deepest mysteries of existence? Josie Iselin's wonderful new book explores a world just below the surface. One wonder is that seaweed performs such a vital role in the ecosystem, literally helping power life on Earth. Another wonder is its shape-shifting colors and crazy symmetries, which Iselin's singular photography pops to life. Her text puts seaweed in a historical framework full of surprising stories. The result is an adventure through art, science, and pure pleasure."" —Mary Ellen Hannibal, author of Citizen Scientist
