The Book of Eels

The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson. The ecology and hidden life of eels, which were once a popular food product, now fallen out of favor. The eels all breed, north American and European eels, in teh Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic ocean. This long journey that they take to spawn was only confirmed in the 1930s, and the process by which this happens is still being discovered. A really good history of a unique ecology, and also another bell weather of climate change.
