Mark Kurlansky, beloved author of the award-winning bestseller
Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World, offers a
riveting new book for kids about what’s happening to fish, the
oceans, and our environment, and what, armed with knowledge, kids
can do about it.
Written by a master storyteller, World Without Fish connects all
the dots—biology, economics, evolution, politics, climate, history,
culture, food, and nutrition—in a way that kids can really
understand. It describes how the fish we most commonly eat,
including tuna, salmon, cod, and swordfish, could disappear within
50 years, and the domino effect it would have—oceans teeming with
jellyfish and turning pinkish orange from algal blooms; seabirds
disappearing, then reptiles, then mammals. It describes the
back-and-forth dynamic of fishermen and scientists. It covers the
effects of industrialized fishing, and how bottom-dragging nets are
turning the ocean floor into a desert.
The answer? Support sustainable fishing. World Without Fish tells
kids exactly what they can do: Find out where those fish sticks
come from. Tell your parents what’s good to buy, and what’s not.
Ask the waiter if the fish on the menu is line-caught And follow
simple rules: Use less plastic, and never eat endangered fish like
bluefin tuna.
Interwoven with the book is a 12-page full-color graphic novel.
Each beautifully illustrated chapter opener links to form a larger
fictional story that complements the text. Hand in hand, they
create a Silent Spring for a new generation.
