The Future of the Last Wild Food
Greenberg deftly uses four fish—bass, cod, salmon, and tuna—as
a lens to provide a state of the ocean; traveling the world from
Alaska’s wild salmon runs to the massive fish farms of Vietnam,
and explores the history of these four species as he examines
where each stands at this critical moment in time. “Important and
stimulating....[Greenberg] has constructed a book that, even as it
lays out the grim and complicated facts of common seas ravaged
by separate nations, also manages to sound hopeful and exciting
notes about the future of fish, and with it, the future of civilizations
in thrall to the bounty of the sea.”—Sam Sifton, New York Times
Book Review.

The True Story of 28,800 Bath Toys Lost at Sea and of the
Beachcombers, oceanographers, Environmentalists, and
Fools, Including the author, Who Went in Search of Them
“Mind-blowing...an adventure story, and important environmental book, a big piece of reportage.”—Michael Paterniti, author of
Driving Mr. Albert. “In tracking the mysterious fate of more than
28,000 plastic bath toys that tumbled in the Pacific in 1992, Hohn
takes us on a journey almost as epic as Moby-Dick, a revelatory
adventure over the high seas and into the murky backwaters of
our throw-away consumer culture.”—Miles Harvey, author of The
Island of Lost Maps.
