Hailed MacArthur Fellow Carl Safina takes us on a tour of the natural
world in the course of a year spent divided between his home on the
shore of eastern Long Island and on his travels to the four points of
the compass. As he witnesses a natural year in an unnatural world he
shows how the problems of the environment are linked to questions of
social justice and the politics of greed, and in asking difficult
questions about our finite world, his answers provide hope.
