Eye of the Albatross: Visions of Hope and Survival, by Carl Safina

5.0

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.
