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. In revelations from the laboratory and the sea that are by
turns astonishing and humorous, the lobster proves itself
to be not only a delicious meal and a sustainable resource
but also an amorous master of the boudoir, a lethal boxer,
and a snoopy socializer with a nose that lets it track prey
and paramour alike with the skill of a bloodhound.
