Song for the Blue Ocean

“Safina's Song is the Silent Spring for our time. The book is a page turner. But unlike the phantasmagorical novels of Michael Crichton or Peter Benchley, where a little science is thrown in to give the plot an aura of verisimilitude, Safina's book is all true and wilder and more frightening. . . . I loved this book.” —Richard Ellis, Los Angeles Times

“[Safina's] bright new voice joins that influential chorus, which includes Rachel Carson and Jacques Cousteau, of scientists turned eloquent ocean advocates.” —Harry E. Demarest, San Francisco Chronicle

“Engrossing and illuminating . . . passionate and enthralling narrative . . . [A] landmark book.” —Thurston Clarke, The New York Times Book Review

“You will never think about fish-or the ocean-the same way again.” —Sylvia Earle, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association

“If you love the ocean, read this book.” —Big Game Fishing Journal
