Juli Berwald's new book is a surprisingly delightful and very readable read about jellyfish, their role in the delicate ecosystem of our oceans and how the author's return to her career as a marine biologist allowed her to discover her true passion and purpose. Juli spoke at the store this fall and was a guest on Interabang Podcast. If you are intrigued by sea life and care about the future of our planet, this book will resonate deeply.
