Useful propaganda; needs to be hardcover
Rating:
4 / 5
Useful propaganda; but in reality to come to such definitive conclusions you need to have an army of PhD biologists doing huge statistical sample tests. But don't let that deter you from the nice graphics and the fact that fish sustainability is a serious topic.
Terrific resource, voice of reason
Rating:
5 / 5
"One size does not fit all" in the areas where food choice and environmental responsibility collide, though this book nonetheless offers an overview of the choices we can make as individuals that are important and can make a significant difference. This book was a gentle, persuasive, thorough and (to me) entertaining overview of a subject that had concerned me for a while. The book (and a downloadable "pocket guide" available on the book's website) is useful for both shopping and eating out, and I have learned alot about tastes and preferences I didn't know I had! This is a good one.
Much needed
Rating:
5 / 5
Carl Safina has long been an advocate of fish preservation, and an eloquent one at that. There is scandalously little information about fish for consumers; many do not know which fish are members of perilously depleted stocks. Safina et al manage to impart information about the state of fisheries without making a fish-eater feel bad about him or herself. We need more books that can educate, not condescend, and not reprimand about the effects of human consumption, existence, and behavior. These authors take a smart route: teaching readers to become more informed and concerned about fish just by learning about them.
