Description: Bonds are forged among some delightfully quirky cohorts studying the effects of ocean acidification on sea butterflies, a tiny, keystone species, in this cutting-edge CliFi novel from renowned environmentalist Nancy Lord.
Brief description: Nancy Lord writes from her home base in Homer, Alaska. Her work is informed by a deep connection to the landscape and culture of the place she calls home. As a commercial salmon fisherman for twenty-five years (now retired) and later as a naturalist and historian on adventure cruise ships, she takes a particular interest in coastal Alaska and the sustainability of its resources and communities. She served as the Alaska Writer Laureate from 2008-10 and is the author of nine books of nonfiction, short fiction, and memoir. pH is her first novel.

So fascinating to see how she weaves a fictional tale to remind us of the ecological and cultural issues we face on this planet." --Jean-Michel Cousteau, Founder and President, Ocean Futures Society
