A new book about the Crochet Coral Reef is available from DAP. Titled Margaret and Christine Wertheim: Value and Transformation of Corals the text is published in conjunction with a major retrospective of this unique worldwide eco-artistic happening at Museum Frieder Burda in Germany.

With essays about the scientific, mathematical, environmental, and community dimensions of the project, the volume also includes 200 pages of photos documenting 17 years of the Crochet Coral Reef endeavor, along with images of the extraordinary new Baden Baden Satellite Reef – the largest community reef to date with over 40,000 coral pieces. Essays by Donna Haraway, Heather Davis, Christine Wertheim, Margaret Wertheim, Doug Harvey, Udo Kittelmann, and others. Published by Weinand Verlag (German & English editions), distributed by DAP.
