Description
David Helvarg has spent his life connected to the ocean and this memoir vividly and evocatively describes the mysterious powers and influence that the world's oceans can have over anyone. "Saved by the Sea" also covers Helvarg's development from journalist to becoming an advocate and founder of an environmental group dedicated to protecting the world's oceans. A heartfelt tribute to the sea's power and importance in our lives, this is a story in the tradition of 'Gift from the Sea' and 'Sea Change' to which ocean-lovers and environmentalists of all stripes can relate.
Reviews / Votes
"This is a love story, filled as most of them are with a certain amount of pain and a great deal of pleasure. David Helvarg has done an awful lot to protect the world's oceans, not least this fine piece of writing!" - Bill McKibben"More details
