Join Annapolis Green’s book club as we discuss Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness by Sy Montgomery.

This is a timely book as there has been a lot on TV and the big screen lately about these intelligent creatures including the film My Octopus Teacher.

In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple “sleights of hand” to get food. More about the book.
