This Common Ground $16.76 Since 1990, Scott Chaskey has worked as a land steward and farmer for the Peconic Land Trust at Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett, New York, an organic community farm. Over the years, he has recorded his meditations on weather, wildlife, soil, seed, root, plant, and flower, and in This Common Ground he has organized some of these reflections season by season, through the course of one year on the farm. Chaskey’s observations reflect a doer’s respect for the rhetoric of the fields and a firsthand knowledge of the interdependence of soils, plants, animals, and humans. His contagious sense of wonder and artistic sensibility illustrate why planting and reaping are such an important part of what defines the human community and the human condition. Like Joan Gussow’s This Organic Life or Verlyn Klinkenborg’s The Riral Life, this inspirational evocation of a life spent working the earth is certain to become a classic of nature writing, as well as appealing to today’s burgeoning organic lifestyle experience. |

Echinometra mathaei Common Rock Urchin $19.99 The Common Rock Urchin ( Echinometra mathaei ) is an Indo-Pacific urchin very similar to the Rock Boring Urchin ( Echinometra lucunter ) found in the Atlantic Ocean. They are both purplish-brown in overall color and generally grow to around 3-4″ in diameter. Some of these urchins may also develop a reddish tint. Urchins are grazers that will roam about the tank searching for food and algae on the substrate and rockwork. They will not actively eat corals, but some delicate corals may be damaged if the urchin crawls on top of them or knocks them over. Urchins have also been known to eat coralline algae desireable to some aquarists. Urchins may also occassionally feed on coralline algae that some aquarists may be trying to promote. If algae levels in the aquarium are low, urchins can be fed by attaching algae sheets to a piece of rock with a clip or rubber band. Some urchins are venomous, but most species are harmless to aquarists. The most common injuries from urchins happens when the aquarists bumps against an urchin and gets poked by its spines. Spines can become broken off in the skin, especially with thinner-spined urchins, so always take care around your urchin to avoid injuring it or yourself. |
