Imbler's debut weaves the wonders of marine biology with stories of their own family and coming of age, implicitly connecting endangered sea life to marginalised human communities and asking how they and we adapt, survive and care for each other.This far-reaching, unique collection shatters our preconceptions about the sea and what it means to survive.'Astounding' PHILIP HOARE'A revelation' ISABELLA TREELanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 222mmItem Length: 144mmItem Width: 27mmItem Weight: 392gAuthor: Sabrina ImblerGenre: Home Garden & PetsTopic: Literary Criticism, Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Science Nature & Math, BiographyRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
