“What a great book! . . . A charming, funny, warm, and informative look at Maine Lobsters. . . . Treat yourself to this one—you won’t be sorry” (Kingston Observer).In this intimate portrait of an island lobstering community and an eccentric band of renegade biologists, journalist Trevor Corson escorts the reader onto the slippery decks of fishing boats, through danger-filled scuba dives, and deep into the churning currents of the Gulf of Maine to learn about the secret undersea lives of lobsters.“A fascinating story, blending science, politics, and history. . . . The writing is vivid.” —USA Today“Lobster is served three ways in this fascinating book: by fisherman, scientist and the crustaceans themselves. . . . Corson . . . weaves together these three worlds. The human worlds are surely interesting; but they can’t top the lobster life on the ocean floor.” — Washington Post“Corson’s sense of humor and ability to breathe a human sensibility into his crustacean characters enliven even the most esoteric details of how lobsters hunt, hide, fight, and mate in their natural habitat.” —Atlantic Monthly“Corson serves up a savory blend of history and science along with a satisfying course of lobster and human behavior.” —Boston Herald

Everything you never knew about sushi—its surprising origins, the colorful lives of its chefs, and the bizarre behavior of the creatures that compose it.Trevor Corson takes us behind the scenes at America’s first sushi-chef training academy, as eager novices strive to master the elusive art of cooking without cooking. He delves into the biology and natural history of the edible creatures of the sea, and tells the fascinating story of an Indo-Chinese meal reinvented in nineteenth-century Tokyo as a cheap fast food. He reveals the pioneers who brought sushi to the United States and explores how this unlikely meal is exploding into the American heartland just as the long-term future of sushi may be unraveling.The Story of Sushi is at once a compelling tale of human determination and a delectable smorgasbord of surprising food science, intrepid reporting, and provocative cultural history.A New York Times Editor’s ChoicePreviously titled The Zen of Fish
