Recenzii

"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"
