Acton reviewed Cod by Mark Kurlansky
Review of 'Cod' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
It takes a good writer to turn such a subject as the fishing industry into such relevant subject matter to everyone. Lots of information is contained within this smallish book--how humans have and are destroying the environment and driving fish into extinction, the greed and politics of industries and nations, and how much has changed since Columbus's voyage. Well, that's as brief a synopsis as I can create.
I was very impressed!
