Summary

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 The World Without Fish, bestselling author Mark Kurlansky issues a similar call to action to 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 ofoverfishing, pollution, and climate change aren't addressed soon. In clear language that kids will understand, Kurlanskygives a step-by-step account of what would happen if fish became extinct-and then outlines a plan for remedying thesituation.As an extra bonus, the book includes a fifteen-page graphic novel (each page is a chapter opener) that tells thefictional story of the daughter of a marine biologist who witnesses the slow extinction of the world's fish in her lifetime.
