Mark Kurlansky, author
The culmination of a lifelong dedication to marine conservation, this lushly illustrated book is Mark Kurlansky’s legacy to his 10-year-old daughter and fishing companion, Talia. World Without Fish connects all the dots—biology, economics, evolution, politics, climate, history, culture, food and nutrition—into a summary of the circumstances facing our oceans.
Mark Kurlansky, renowned author of the award-winning bestseller Cod, provides a compelling account of why all the world’s fish could disappear in the next 50 years and how we can stop it.
