A touching true story

A fantastic vet

The charming Dr Marc Abraham

Paul Greenberg observes ... we are at a significant moment

Accessible and enlightening ... It's not Greenberg's way to preach; he's happier letting the facts speak for themselves

Required reading for anyone who eats seafood ...Greenberg is an unfailingly entertaining writer, and his book arms you with the information you need to make intelligent choices when you are confronted by the ... offerings at the fish counter

Lucid, readable ... a story well told

An elegantly composed and strikingly level-headed inquiry into our relationship with the fish we eat and the waters that sustain them

A powerful case for action ... combining on-the-ground and on-the-ocean reporting from the Yukon to Greece, from the waters off New England to the Mekong Delta, along with accounts of some stirring fishing trips, Greenberg makes a powerful argument ... marvellous exploration of that contradiction, a necessary book for anyone interested in what we take from the sea to eat, and how, and why

Oren Harman's outstanding new biography of the American scientist George Price makes the case that Price's theoretical contributions to biology are among the most important of the twentieth century...Price was undoubtedly an opaque figure; Harman has approached his life with sensitivity and intelligence, providing a clearer window into this troubled mind

Moving biography exploring a geneticst's understanding of human selflessness

An energetic tale that presents not only the science but the history and politics which produced it
