"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

TRULY INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium, Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
This toy is truly indestructible. I have purchased several toys over the past few months, all have been detroyed except for this one. It may not look as pretty now but it is still intact and still squeaks. I highly recommend for anyone with truly aggressive chewers.

Make sure you get this brand. The look alikes are trash!
Very durable and fun! My Pitbull chews on this constantly and loves to have treats or peanut butter, put in the bottom of it as an extra treat. A friend of mine bought a similar looking toy that was destroyed by her pitbull in moments. This one is better quality and has stood the test of this power chewer. The rubber is very thick and he chews it constantly but it stays in tact. It is soft enough to squeak if he gets a hold of it just right, but that’s the rare treat. The size is perfect for my 80 pound boy. I am also able to throw these toys in his pool for him to dive for them. Definitely in great value for the price.

Indestructible, but maybe too much?
Color: Orange, Size: Medium
Not too enticing for my dog, but, it is definitely indestructible! He chews on it every so often, but less than I had expected. I think the material is so rock hard that it offers little incentive for him to chew on it.

Best I've Tried
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
With my pitty pup, there's no such thing as an indestructible toy, but this has been the most impressive so far. It's lasted days vs the typical minutes his new toys survive. It has a squeaker, but no fluff, and this has been great. He's been trying to get at if for a long time with no success! He has tore thru the rubber portion, but there's still plenty of play left in this toy. The 3 different textures keep him interested vs the hard material toys he rejects or chews on them too long and I worry about tooth wear. Definitely buying more.
