Packed with nutrients and naturally low in fat, fish is the last animal we can still eat in good conscience. Or can we?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this vivid, eye-opening book--first published in the UK to wide acclaim and now extensively revised for an American audience--environmental journalist Charles Clover argues that our passion for fish is unsustainable. Seventy-five percent of the world's fish stocks are now fully exploited or overfished; the most popular varieties risk extinction within the next few decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClover trawls the globe for answers, from Tokyo's sumptuous fish market to the heart of New England's fishing industry. He joins hardy sailors on high-tech boats, interviews top chefs whose menu selections can influence the fate of entire species, and examines the ineffective organizations charged with regulating the world's fisheries. Along the way he argues that governments as well as consumers can take steps to reverse this disturbing trend before it's too late. The price of a mouthwatering fillet of Chilean sea bass may seem outrageous, but \u003ci\u003eThe End of the Line\u003c\/i\u003e shows its real cost to the ecosystem is far greater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595581099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.96w x 1.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2006 pg. 884\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/25\/2006 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2006 pg. 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 126\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Charles Clover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276345958581,"sku":"9781595581099","price":34.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_542ce2e4-2c3a-4fda-8b9c-b8539f9c087a.jpg?v=1744122900","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-end-of-the-line-how-overfishing-is-changing-the-world-and-what-we-eat-9781595581099","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
