However, my 13 yr old son has read it cover-to-cover (several times) and our 8 yr old has picked it up, too. As a result, THEY led a dinner conversation about Kurlansky's book and sustainable fishing. This led to a broader conversation about the concept of sustainability. I was impressed that WORLD WITHOUT FISH struck them so - the format is a wonderful vehicle for this message to hit a wide spectrum of readers.<br /><br />p.s. you carry the SEAFOOD WATCH guide with you?! Thank goodness for that new app :)Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-52192573034745968532011-04-22T18:20:36.443-04:002011-04-22T18:20:36.443-04:00I didn't know there was a seafood watch pocket...I didn't know there was a seafood watch pocket guide.
