ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2020). (2019) 2020 1st English edition. 8vo (142 x 217mm). Ppvi,241. Bibliography. Black boards, spine titled in grey. Remainder mark to bottom edge o/w a fine unread copy in dust-wrapper. Translated from the Swedish by Agnes Broome. "Ev…en today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don't understand what drives them, after living for decades in fresh water, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives." "Without a doubt, the most delicious natural history book of the decade. Svensson's prose effortlessly undulates between his own personal experience and a thousand years of scientific enquiry. But it's his call to conservation - not just of this noble eel but of our memories both personal and cultural - that truly elevates this remarkably poignant work," Mark Siddall, curator and professor, American Museum of Natural History. Chapters include: The eel; By the stream; Aristotle and the eel born of mud; Looking into the eyes of an eel; Sigmund Freud and the eels of Trieste; Illegal fishing; The Dane who found the eel's breeding ground; Swimming against the current; The people who fish for eel; Outwitting the eel; The uncanny eel; To kill an animal; Under the sea; Setting an eel trap; The long journey home; Becoming a fool; The eel on the brink of extinction; In the Sargasso Sea.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Part H Is for Hawk, part The Soul of an Octopus, The Book of Eels is a captivating work of narrative nonfiction that is both a meditation on the world's most elusive fish-the eel-and a reflection on the human conditionRemarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, i…n fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the 'eel question': Where do eels come from What are they Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether Even today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don't understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives. They remain a scientific mystery.Drawing on a breadth of research about eels in literature, history, and modern marine biology, as well as his own experience fishing for eels with his father, Patrik Svensson crafts a mesmerizing portrait of an unusual, utterly misunderstood, and completely captivating animal. In The Book of Eels, we meet renowned historical thinkers, from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud to Rachel Carson, for whom the eel was a singular obsession. And we meet the scientists who spearheaded the search for the eel's point of origin, including Danish marine biologist Johannes Schmidt, who led research efforts in the early twentieth century, catching thousands upon thousands of eels, in the hopes of proving their birthing grounds in the Sargasso Sea.Blending memoir and nature writing at its best, Svensson's journey to understand the eel becomes an exploration of the human condition that delves into overarching issues about our roots and destiny, both as humans and as animals, and, ultimately, how to handle the biggest question of all: death. The result is a gripping and slippery narrative of natural history that will surprise and enchant.A Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book PrizeNational BestsellerWinner of the National Outdoor Book AwardLonglisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in NonfictionA New York Times Notable BookOne of TIME's 100 Must Read Books of the YearOne of The Washington Post's 50 Notable Nonfiction Books of the YearOne of Smithsonian Magazine's 10 Best Science Books of the Year One of Publishers Weekly's Best Nonfiction Books of the YearA New York Times Editor's ChoiceIn this unforgettable work of literary nonfiction, Svensson explores the space between what we know and what we can only believe-The Eel Question: A deep dive into the centuries-old scientific mystery that obsessed thinkers from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud, who each tried-and failed-to understand the creature.A Father and Son Memoir: A moving, personal story of the author's own bond with his father, forged during quiet nights spent fishing for eels in the streams of his childhood.Science History Brought to Life: Follow the gripping, real-life quest of the scientists who dedicated their lives to finding the eel's mythical birthplace in the Sargasso Sea.A Philosophical Journey: An exploration of the human condition that delves into the bigg.
