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 in an intimate portrait of an island lobstering community and an eccentric band of renegade biologists.

Join journalist Trevor Corson as he escorts readers 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. The human worlds are surely interesting, but they can't top the lobster life on the ocean floor.

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