The Secret Life of Lobsters by Trevor Corson

The Secret Life of Lobsters by Trevor Corson

"Lobster is served three ways in this fascinating book: by fisherman, scientist and the crustaceans themselves. . . . Corson, who worked aboard commercial lobster boats for two years, 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

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.

This P.S.
edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author
interviews, recommended reading, and more.
