"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

Inconsistent printing quality
Color: Beige
Sometimes the printed text has unclear edges, especially with small fonts, which look a bit blurry. When used for delicate decorations, it doesn’t look very professional.

It’s best to get them fresh. Sometimes I’ve gotten them where you can tell they are old.
My dogs look forward to one of these nightly. It’s the best part of their day!

perfect treat
Flavor Name: Bone (S), Size: 6 Count (Pack of 1)
These are very limited ingredients treats and perfect size for a small dog but the cat likes them too. these are perfect size and shape for a little distraction so you call get a lil break. I have order couple bags and never passed day and color and quality look very fresh and peace knowing it is safe for my dog. These is no harsh chemical smell more like opening people turkey jerky. they are a lil pricey but for six pretzel or rings seem to be durable and gives me peace of mind . i highly recommend these for small dogs but the also have a wide assortment for bigger dogs . I highly recommend due to my positive experience.
