“Sy Montgomery’s The Soul of an Octopus does for the creature what Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk did for raptors.” —New Statesman, UK

“One of the best science books of the year.” —Science Friday, NPR

Another New York Times bestseller from the author of The Good Good Pig, this “fascinating…touching…informative…entertaining” (The Daily Beast) book explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus—a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature—and the remarkable connections it makes with humans.

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.

Scientists have only recently accepted the intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees but now are watching octopuses solve problems and are trying to decipher the meaning of the animal’s color-changing techniques. With her “joyful passion for these intelligent and fascinating creatures” (Library Journal Editors’ Spring Pick), Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk as she tells a unique love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, The Soul of an Octopus reveals what octopuses can teach us about the meeting of two very different minds.

Great value and great quality

Excellent heavy-duty quality and it looks great sitting out on my stovetop. I've prepared several meals plus baked bread in the oven in this and it's easy to clean and holding up really well. Very reasonably priced too!

Great quality
Color: Pink
Not the pretty pink that’s in the advertising photos they’re using, and my camera is always spot on with colors. Heavy and a great pot though!

A Must-Have for Home Cooking
Color: Red
This Dutch oven is excellent for everyday cooking. It’s solid, heavy duty, and heats evenly, making it perfect for stews, soups, roasts, and baked dishes. The 6QT size is ideal for family meals, and the lid fits tightly to lock in moisture and flavor, giving tender and delicious results every time. It works great in the oven or on the stovetop and holds heat really well for slow cooking. Overall, it’s a reliable, versatile, and affordable Dutch oven that performs like more expensive brands.
