Our Book of the Week is full of surprises. Adam Nicolson's The Sea Is Not Made of Water introduces us to the masses of curious life in the zone between the tides, a zone we think we know but about which, as Nicolson shows, we have so much more to discover. Humans have had a long relationship with the intertidal world, a world that is both land and sea, and neither land nor sea, but its nature of perpetual transition makes it particularly vulnerable — and particularly rewarding to study. Nicolson's writing is, as always, effortlessly lyrical and insightful.
