'Rose George is a fearless and dogged reporter, one of our best... [She] writes with heart, heat, and wit... I've loved all Rose George's books, but I think I love this one most' -- Mary Roach

'Rose George is a fearless and dogged reporter, one of our best... [She] writes with heart, heat, and wit... I've loved all Rose George's books, but I think I love this one most' -- Mary Roach Every Last Fish, Rose George's exploration of commercial overfishing, is a reminder of how careless we are with our planet's vanishing bounty of underwater life. It's a warning of the consequences of such carelessness. But it's also a story of our beautiful and fascinating underwater worlds and of the sometimes unexpected ways we try not to destroy but to protect them... -- Deborah Blum * Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Poison Squad: One Chemist's Single-Minded Quest for Food Safety at the Turn of the Twentieth Century * Once again Rose George, equipped with wide-ranging curiosity and bracing dashes of coruscating humor, takes us on an astoundingly eye-opening journey through the overlooked and everyday-this time the toll, in terms human and pelagic, of our consumption of fish -- Tom Vanderbilt * author of Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do and Beginners * It's hard to imagine creatures more different from us than fish. Yet as Rose George reminds us in this rollicking, often elegiac account, our fates are intertwined. Every Last Fish deftly captures our shared story through the humans: eccentric, passionate, and trepidatious -- Florence Williams * author of The Nature Fix: Why Being in Nature Makes us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative *
