Read a sample Read a sample
"What a great book! . . . A charming, funny, warm, and informative look at Maine Lobsters. . . . Treat yourself to this one—you won't be sorry" (Kingston Observer).
In this intimate portrait of an island lobstering community and an eccentric band of renegade biologists, journalist 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.
"A fascinating story, blending science, politics, and history. . . . The writing is vivid." —USA Today
"Lobster is served three ways in this fascinating book: by fisherman, scientist and the crustaceans themselves. . . . Corson . . . weaves together these three worlds. The human worlds are surely interesting; but they can't top the lobster life on the ocean floor." — Washington Post
"Corson's sense of humor and ability to breathe a human sensibility into his crustacean characters enliven even the most esoteric details of how lobsters hunt, hide, fight, and mate in their natural habitat." —Atlantic Monthly
"Corson serves up a savory blend of history and science along with a satisfying course of lobster and human behavior." —Boston Herald
