Each of these little things \"has a complicated and special way of getting on in the world, different from ours and different from one another's.\" In Waiting for Aphrodite she explores the ways of sponges and sea urchins, horseshoe crabs and the sea mouse known as Aphrodite -- as well as our ways. She takes us on a journey through the mysteries of time -- geological, biological, and personal -- as she writes of the evolution of life on this planet and the evolution of her own life: her childhood next to a Michigan graveyard; the three colleges where she \"learned three things\"; her twenty-five years keeping bees on a farm in the Ozarks; her move to a \"strange little house\" in a small Maine town, \"the place I wanted to grow old in.\" And in the tide pools and ocean waters there she discovered a whole new world, the world of little things that inspired this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin","offers":[{"title":"Waiting for Aphrodite: Journeys Into the Time Before Bones | Sue Hubbell | Paperback | 9780618056842 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks B 1777862","offer_id":49765902483608,"sku":"1777862","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71meKgLeKjL.jpg?v=1787972139","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/waiting-for-aphrodite-journeys-into-the-time-before-bones","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
