Octopus: The Ocean's Intelligent Invertebrate by Jennifer A. Mather, Roland C. Anderson, James B. Wood ★★★★★

My love for octopuses began with Sy Montgomery’s Soul of an Octopus. I have not eaten one since, it would be a crime against something magically beautiful and intelligent. 


This book brought a love of nature, of the ocean, every time I opened it. It’s a collaborative effort of aficionados that mixes educational material with lively personal stories. 


Considering the amount of authors this was smoothly done. I live far from the ocean but I know and care more for it because of this book.

So beautiful.


One sad fact: The United States still has no ethical standards for the care of invertebrates. Sigh.


I hope things turn around because I would like this to be me someday...
