Slime: How Algae Created Us, Plague Us, and Just Might Save Us

byRuth Kassinger

Slime is Ruth Kassinger's science narrative of how Algae Created Us, Plague Us, and Just Might Save Us. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Together, these elements make Slime an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
