Hot off the press from the author (Mark Kurlansky) who brought us the enlightening tale of Cod, the history of the fish that changed the World, comes another thought provoking title, The Last Fish Tale: The Fate of the Atlantic and Our Disappearing Fisheries.
While fishermen tend to go on the defensive whenever conservation, the "Greens" or anything remotely environmental is mentioned, this latest book to hit the shops makes salutory reading - in the same way the current sharp rise in the cost of fuel has brought home to every household just how precious the natural resources of the planet are and the need to manage them. Reads like this are not good for getting off to a comforting night's sleep for anyone involved in the industry but should help to focus minds on how best to make way in the future.
