An analysis of Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food by Paul Greenberg, 2010, Penguin Publishing.

Abstract

The book report examines Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food by Paul Greenberg, as published by Penguin Publishing in 2010. Greenberg's offering to ocean governance literature is differentiated from comparable works in its depth of historical analysis to explain current state of affairs as well as its language used to undertake such a feat. His accessible analysis is divided into four chapters - one for each of cod, salmon, bass, and tuna - where he effectively provides species specific commentary on the science and the prospective good and previously faulty policies undertaken. For anyone interested in ocean governance, public policy, and what winds up on your plate, Greenberg provides a sound introduction to the topic and much food for thought.
