Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone

byJuli Berwald

Spineless is Juli Berwald's science narrative of the Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of nature. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Spineless leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
