7/4/2023 0 Comments Spineless by Juli BerwaldThe result is Spineless and while it might not make you love them, it’s sure to engender a new found respect for these remarkable creatures.īut before we dive into the bizarre world of planulae, polyps, ephyrae and medusae, one has to wonder how an otherwise normal science textbook editor and mother of two in the distinctly jellyfish-free metropolis of Austin, Texas becomes a globetrotting jellyfish fanatic. It was this rather unfair reality that motivated science writer Juli Berwald to write about her favorite animal, the lowly jellyfish. From their sliminess and nasty stings to the fact that they don’t even have a face (or a brain), it’s hard to love a jellyfish. That’s why you don’t come across a lot of books about jellyfish. If you want to write a science book that thrills, a charismatic topic is always a wise choice. Some animals have it in abundance, from honey bees to polar bears to dolphins.
