Description - The World Is Blue by Sylvia A. Earle

Never more timely, this paperback edition addresses the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico with new material, including the complete congressional testimony of Dr. Sylvia Earle, NGS Explorer-in-Residence and Time magazine's "Hero for the Planet." The book will appeal to the growing segment of young people and adults with an interest in the future of the planet, and particularly to readers of Mark Lyman's Six Degrees, Tim Flannery's The Weathermakers, and Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat, and Crowded.

This book tie-in to National Geographic's ambitious 5-year ocean initiative-focusing on overfishing-is written in National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Sylvia Earle's accessible yet hard-hitting voice. Through compelling personal stories she puts the current and future peril of the ocean and the life it supports in perspective for a wide public audience.
