In his histories of cod and oysters, Mark Kurlansky described how those species once thrived in the wild, and how they were depleted. ["World Without Fish"] casts an even wider net and, with the help of superb illustrations and an interwoven graphic novel by Frank Stockton, creates a compelling narrative for young people. "The New York Times" "A wonderfully fast-paced and engaging primer on the key questions surrounding fish and the sea. Great for a classroom or as a beach read"" "Paul Greenberg, author of "Four Fish" "Mark Kurlanksy exposes one of the most alarming but least-known catastrophes of our time: The depletion of our oceans. While raising the alarm, Mark has also given us the keys to solving the crisis, specific things that each of us can do to help restore our ocean planet."" "Michael Sutton, Vice President, Monterey Bay Aquarium"
