The Albatross
Visions of Hope and Survival
by Carl Safina
"Safina, an insightful, reform-minded,
and splendidly literary scientist in the manner of Rachel
Carson, employs one particular albatross, dubbed Amelia
and outfitted with a transmitter for satellite tracking,
as his guide to the ocean world in this riveting marine
chronicle. Safina contrasts a sobering overview of past
and present abominations with lively accounts of the
corrective endeavors of enlightened marine biologists
to support his optimistic view of an ecologically sound
future. Communication is key to positive change, and
Safina’s superlative report is both catalyst and
inspiration."
