HOW FAR THE LIGHT REACHES - SABRINA IMBLER KART...

A fascinating tour of creatures from the surface to the deepest ocean floor: this "miraculous 
transcendental book" invites us to envision wilder  grander  and more abundant possibilities
for the way we live (Ed Yong  author of An Immense World ). A queer  mixed race writer working
in a largely white  male field  science and conservation journalist Sabrina Imbler has always
been drawn to the mystery of life in the sea  and particularly to creatures living in hostile
or remote environments. Each essay in their debut collection profiles one such creature 
including:    ·the mother octopus who starves herself while watching over her eggs     ·the
Chinese sturgeon whose migration route has been decimated by pollution and dams     ·the
bizarre  predatory Bobbitt worm (named after Lorena)     ·the common goldfish that flourishes
in the wild     ·and more. Imbler discovers that some of the most radical models of family 
community  and care can be found in the sea  from gelatinous chains that are both individual
organisms and colonies of clones to deep-sea crabs that have no need for the sun  nourished
instead by the chemicals and heat throbbing from the core of the Earth. Exploring themes of
adaptation  survival  sexuality  and care  and weaving the wonders of marine biology with
stories of their own family  relationships  and coming of age   How Far the Light Reaches  is a
shimmering  otherworldly debut that attunes us to new visions of our world and its miracles.
