Announcing the paperback edition of World Without Fish, the
uniquely illustrated narrative nonfiction account--for kids--of
what is happening to the world's oceans and what they can do about
it. Written by Mark Kurlansky, the bestselling author of Cod, Salt,
The Big Oyster, and many other books, World Without Fish has been
praised as "urgent" (Publishers Weekly) and "a wonderfully
fast-paced and engaging primer on the key questions surrounding
fish and the sea" (Paul Greenberg, author of Four Fish).?It has
also been included in the New York State Expeditionary Learning
English Language Arts Curriculum. Written by a master storyteller,
World Without Fish connects all the dots--biology, economics,
evolution, politics, climate, history, culture, food, and
nutrition--in a way that kids can really understand. It describes
how the fish we most commonly eat, including tuna, salmon, cod,
swordfish--even anchovies-- could disappear within fifty years, and
the domino effect it would have: the oceans teeming with jellyfish
and turning pinkish orange from algal blooms, the seabirds
disappearing, then reptiles, then mammals. It describes the
back-and-forth dynamic of fishermen, who are the original
environmentalists, and scientists, who not that long ago considered
fish an endless resource. It explains why fish farming is not the
answer--and why sustainable fishing is, and how to help return the
oceans to their natural ecological balance. Interwoven with the
book is a twelve-page full-color graphic novel. Each beautifully
illustrated chapter opener links to the next to form a larger
fictional story that perfectly complements the text.
