Description
Scientists say that the number of large fish in the ocean has decreased by 90% over the past 50 years. Could they be gone in the next 50 years? Mark Kurlansky, the author of the New York Times bestseller Cod, and his 10-year-old daughter and fishing companion Talia, talk about the prolific author's latest book, World Without Fish. As the father of a young daughter, Mark knows that it's never too early to teach children so although the book is designed for younger readers (Talia reviewed each page), adults will find it teeming with history, biology and a thoughtful view of ecology.
