DANNA STAAF earned a PhD in invertebrate biology from Stanford University. She lives in Northern California and has contributed to KQED, San Francisco, and wrote "Squid a Day" for the blog Science 2.0.
"Intriguing. . . . This in-depth coverage of an often neglected but
ecologically vital group will change your view of squid, octopuses
and their relatives, and make eating calamari feel like
cannibalism."-- "New Scientist"
"Staaf's approach is short and sweet, well-illustrated and strong
on playful narrative. . . . I loved this book."-- "Nature"
"A book like Squid Empire is a reminder that in any scientific
narrative, there are always two stories at play. There is the
history of the subject you're studying, and then there is the
history of its discovery."-- "New Republic"
"Staaf captures what is rarely seen outside the ivory tower:
scientists talking among themselves with a touch of irreverence.
Researchers everywhere will surely relate."-- "Science"
