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 aeons. Algae created our
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 multi-billion-dollar industry, with
algae hard at work to make your sushi, beer, paint, toothpaste,
shampoo and so much more. Delving into science and history, in this
revelatory book Ruth Kassinger takes readers on an
around-the-world, behind-the-scenes, and into-the-kitchen tour.
We'll meet the algae innovators working towards 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.; Bloom will
overturn everything you thought you knew about algae and the
immense power that they hold. This could be the future of our
rapidly changing world.
