Reviews

"A fascinating tour of horseshoe crabs and the people who study them. Through interviews and vivid descriptions of his experiences, Fredericks shares his journey to understand the complexities of horseshoe crab biology and the history of their exploitation." --H. Jane Brockmann, professor of biology, University of Florida

"An entertaining guide to a creature that is 445 million years old and still having sex on the beach." --Richard Conniff, author, Spineless Wonders: Strange Tales from the Invertebrate World

"Anthony Fredericks takes readers on a quest to understand an important animal easy to overlook. His biography of a survivor is a reminder that a skillful storyteller can find a good tale anywhere, and it is a warning that we ignore the perils humankind creates for other animals at our own selfish risk." --Peter Laufer, author, The Dangerous World of Butterflies

"Every ten years or so the amazing story of how horseshoe crab blood saves millions of human lives changes, and has to be told all over again. This book takes readers on a whirlwind ride up and down the East Coast visiting the many people who are now working to protect this species that is so crucial to human health and the ecology of the East Coast of America." --William Sargent, author, Crab Wars: A Tale of Horseshoe Crabs, Bioterrorism and Human Health

"Fredericks' enthusiasm and admiration for the horseshoe crab is infectious; this entertaining, well-researched book is certain to garner more admirers for this ancient, underappreciated arthropod." --Katie Fallon, author, Cerulean Blues

"One of those rare natural history books that makes clear the deep interdependence and relationship of humans to the natural world in ways they would little dream of without reading the book." --Anne Rudloe, Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory
