Reviews
"Roberts imparts his vast knowledge with a consummate talent for colorful narrative and devastating facts. His book will be required reading for anyone who cares about the oceans--not least because, as well as underlining the scale of the problems, he offers us the hope of real solutions." --Philip Hoare, author of "The Whale: In Search of the Giants of the Sea"
