The Curious World of Seaweed is an award-winning, spectacular specimen of a book—a deep dive into the history and science of the iconic seaweeds and kelps of the Pacific Coast and beyond. An Ocean Garden, in its second edition, is becoming a seaweed classic. Beach Stones and Seashells are beach-combing must-haves, and her little Heart Stones is for everyone thinking about love!
