Reviews
This beautiful book will appeal to poets and photographers as surely as it will to scientists, dreamers, harvesters and beachwalkers-every page opening a little window to the soul of the sea and all that dwells within. A timely salute to the synergy between man, ocean, plant, animal, place, spirit and science. - Prannie Rhatigan, author of Irish Seaweed Kitchen Swinimer has created a delightful, readable, informative and richly illustrated resource on seaweeds that I highly recommend. - Louis Druehl, author of Pacific Seaweeds: A Guide to Common Seaweeds of the West Coast This beautifully written book is an irresistible and unique fusion of practical field guide, personal memoir and warm wisdom of how to live well in a home place. A wonderful ramble through the world of seaweeds from basic identification and natural science to culinary uses and medicine, Amanda's creation brings us into her sphere by melding science, love and reverence in an inspiring ode to these humble but magnificent species. - Fiona Hamersley Chambers, ethnobotanist and owner of Metchosin Farm
