Enjoy photos and more here: https://princeton.press/xv963d Seaweeds are astoundingly diverse. They’re found along the shallows of beaches and have been recorded living at depths of more than 800 feet; they can be microscopic or grow into giants many meters long. They’re incredibly efficient at using the materials found in the ocean and are increasingly used in the human world, in applications from food to fuel. They’re beautiful, too, with their undulating shapes anchored to the sea floor or drifting on the surface. Seaweeds aren’t plants: they’re algae, part of a huge and largely unfamiliar group of aquatic organisms. Seaweeds of the World makes sense of their complicated world, differentiating between the three main groups—red, green, and brown—and delving into their complex reproductive systems. The result is an unprecedented, accessible, and in-depth look at a previously hidden ocean world. - Features close to 250 beautiful color photos as well as diagrams and distribution maps - Covers every major family and genus Follow Princeton University Press on Social Media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/PrincetonUPress Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/princetonupress/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PrincetonUniversityPress LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/princeton-university-press/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/princetonuniversitypress/
