Incredibly well researched! A must for people who enjoy nature writing and learning more about the struggles of the ocean's wildlife.

I'm in love with Safina. I want him to write more books, right away. I want to sell all my worldly goods and devote my life to saving birds.
Safina's a delicious prose stylist with a clear, burning passion for animals. Highly recommended.

This book was less about albatrosses than I thought it was going to be, and while those sections were still my favorite, the rest of the book was also very nice. Every few chapters the author returns to Amelia the Laysan albatross and her imagined experiences inferred from satellite signals. In between, the author visits various scientists and fisherpeople throughout the North Pacific Ocean to see how their activities impact the albatrosses and other animals inhabiting the area. I'd say this is probably better than [b:Voyage of the Turtle: In Pursuit of the Earth's Last Dinosaur|40789|Voyage of the Turtle In Pursuit of the Earth's Last Dinosaur|Carl Safina|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1312032141s/40789.jpg|40374], and a great book for anyone interested in birds or the ocean.
