"No organisms are more important to life as we know it than algae. In Slime, Ruth Kassinger gives this underappreciated group its due." -- Elizabeth Kolbert Say "algae" and most people think of pond scum. What they don't know is that without algae, none of us would exist. There are as many algae on Earth as stars in the universe, and they have been essential to life on our planet for eons. Algae created the Earth we know today, with its oxygen-rich atmosphere, abundant oceans, and coral reefs. Crude oil is made of dead algae, and algae are the ancestors of all plants. Today, seaweed production is a multibillion-dollar industry, with algae hard at work to make your sushi, chocolate milk, beer, paint, toothpaste, shampoo, and so much more. In Slime we'll meet the algae innovators working toward a sustainable future: from seaweed farmers in South Korea, to scientists using it to clean the dead zones in our waterways, to the entrepreneurs fighting to bring algae fuel and plastics to market. With a multitude of lively, surprising science and history, Ruth Kassinger takes readers on an around-the-world, behind-the-scenes, and into-the-kitchen tour. Whether you thought algae was just the gunk in your fish tank or you eat seaweed with your oatmeal, Slime will delight and amaze with its stories of the good, the bad, and the up-and-coming.Binding Type: Paperback

Great product that seems to last a good long time
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 12.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This has a subtly pleasant smell. I like it. I like the consistency too. I will order again. It's soft on my skin and super easy to use. I like the bottle size. It's not too big and it's not too small.

Smells Amazing, Premium Price
Scent: Sea Salt, Size: 11.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great body wash overall. It smells really good clean, fresh, and not overpowering. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey compared to other options, but the quality and scent definitely make it worth considering.

One of the best bodywashes I've ever tried!
Scent: Sea Salt, Size: 11.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Huron Body Wash is one of the best I've ever used. Great scents, and leaves your skin smelling and feeling great. The deodorant is a really great compliment to the body wash. Feel good all day!

Still Searching for the Right Scent
Scent: Sandalwood + Amber, Size: 30.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Smells great and lathers well, but it’s super hard to get any volume out of the bottle, and the scent really isn’t that strong or distinctive. I don’t think I’ll buy this again and will keep looking. I’ve tried Salt & Stone Body Wash with Antioxidants for Deep Moisture and ORIBE Cote d'Azur Replenishing Body Wash as well; they’re good, but they don’t offer any noticeable scent once you’re out of the shower. I have a very sensitive nose, so I know it’s not just me.
