"No organisms are more important to life as we know it than algae. In Slime, Ruth Kassinger gives this underappreciated group its due." -- Elizabeth Kolbert Say "algae" and most people think of pond scum. What they don't know is that without algae, none of us would exist. There are as many algae on Earth as stars in the universe, and they have been essential to life on our planet for eons. Algae created the Earth we know today, with its oxygen-rich atmosphere, abundant oceans, and coral reefs. Crude oil is made of dead algae, and algae are the ancestors of all plants. Today, seaweed production is a multibillion-dollar industry, with algae hard at work to make your sushi, chocolate milk, beer, paint, toothpaste, shampoo, and so much more. In Slime we'll meet the algae innovators working toward a sustainable future: from seaweed farmers in South Korea, to scientists using it to clean the dead zones in our waterways, to the entrepreneurs fighting to bring algae fuel and plastics to market. With a multitude of lively, surprising science and history, Ruth Kassinger takes readers on an around-the-world, behind-the-scenes, and into-the-kitchen tour. Whether you thought algae was just the gunk in your fish tank or you eat seaweed with your oatmeal, Slime will delight and amaze with its stories of the good, the bad, and the up-and-coming.Binding Type: Paperback

Very nice look
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Brown
Very nice look, sole is comfortable, inside upper leather is a bit stiff. Not enough to hurt but not soft. I would purchase another color.

Nice shoes but no half sizes.
Size: 11, Color: Brown
I had to return the shoes because they do not have half sizes. Other shoes i always wear an 11. That was tight with these and 12 would be to big.

Perfect casual Friday shoe with great comfort and style
Size: 10, Color: Optic White/Egret
These have quickly become my go-to shoes for casual Fridays at work. The fit is true to size, and they’re both comfortable and stylish without trying too hard. They pair really well with jeans or khakis, so they’re easy to dress up or down depending on the day.
