World Without Fish
Mark Kurlansky
Almost fifty years ago, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring awakened the consciousness of an entire generation by bringing to light the harmful effects of DDT and other toxic chemicals; she forever changed the way people view the natural world.
In World Without Fish, bestselling author Mark Kurlansky creates a similar eye-opening moment for kids ages 10 and up-the next generation to inherit the earth-by outlining what will happen within the next fifty years if the ill effects of overfishing, pollution, and climate change aren’t addressed soon.
In clear language that kids will understand, Kurlansky gives a step-by-step account of what would happen if fish became extinct-and then describes the measures kids need to take now to stop this from happening.
As an extra bonus, the book includes a 12-page graphic novel (each page is a chapter opener) that tells the fictional story of the daughter of a marine biologist who witnesses the slow extinction of the world’s fish in her lifetime.
