Produced on a flatbed scanner, Iselin’s vibrant portraits of ocean flora reveal the exquisite color and extraordinary forms of more than 200 specimens gathered from tidal pools along the California and Maine coasts. Her engaging text, which accompanies the images, blends personal observation and philosophical musings with scientific fact. Now available in paperback for the first time, An Ocean Garden: The Secret Life of Seaweed is a poetic and compelling tribute to the natural world...

With her signature, Marimekko-like portraits of each specimen, the author of An Ocean Garden: The Secret Life of Seaweed explores both the presence of 16 seaweeds and kelps that live in the thin region where the Pacific Ocean converges with the North American continent.
