It’s time for our special edition of Kindred’s Book Club!
In this season’s Book Club we are featuring Slippery Beast: A True Crime Natural History, with Eels, by Ellen Ruppel Shell.
Author Ellen Ruppel Shell is professor emeritus at Boston University, in the department of science journalism. Ellen has published many articles, reviews, and essays which have appeared in the New York Times, The Guardian, LA Times, Washington Post, and spent years as a contributing editor and correspondent for The Atlantic. Ellen is the author of 5 books, including our feature Slippery Beast: A True Crime Natural History, with Eels.
Yes you read that right! We are talking all about EELS! But hold on, don’t think you know this animal, unless you really do, because boy are they just full of surprises.
In Ellen’s book Slippery Beast we are taken on a journey that is as surprising as the animal itself. We go from Freud and his short lived quest to understanding this species to the dark underworld of the LARGEST illegally traded species today. Eels are the most heavily trafficked animal in the world. That’s more than rhino horn, elephant tusk, pangolin scales, or turtles. Crazy right? Wait til you hear more!
Lots of Love.
