Media Reviews
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
