![]() In this passionate paean to the sea and its creatures one of the world's foremost marine conservation biologists tells the story of man and the sea, from the earliest traces of life on earth to the oceans as we know them today. He considers the impact of fishing and ocean acidification, rising tides and warming seas, plastics and shifting currents, and reveals what we must do now to preserve our precious oceans. The sea feeds and sustains us, but everywhere we look marine life is under threat, from Caribbean reefs to arctic fisheries to the deepest regions of the sea. "Immensely entertaining, although it chronicles a tragedy… No account of the cataclysm is more engaging." For fans of Carl Safina and Elizabeth Kolbert. ![]() ![]() ![]() Economist Book of the Year -Audubon Book of the Year -American Library Association Award winner - Royal Society Winton prize Finalist - Winner of the Rachel Carson awardĪ Silent Spring for oceans by "the Rachel Carson of the fish world" ( The New York Times) who appeared on the Imax film Wild Ocean and provided the scientific basis for the creation of the first high seas marine protected areas. ![]()
