This packed volume offers an all-you-can-eat buffet of information on global fisheries catches: comprehensive and provocative. --Boris Worm Professor in Marine Conservation Biology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada This timely publication makes a very significant contribution to our understanding of what is actually happening with the world's fisheries and effectively makes the case that improved management requires more holistic approaches and less institutional and disciplinary fragmentation. --John Tanzer Director, Global Marine Program, World Wildlife International The word monumental is overused but rarely has a book more deserved it. An extraordinary account of the state of the world's fisheries. Essential reading. --Callum Roberts Professor of Marine Conservation, University of York, England
