Dr Paul Hatcher and Professor Nick Battey, both at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Reading, UK
“Overall, this is a collection of papers that are realistic yet
optimistic about the future and proposes positive solutions to the
many problems of current fisheries.” (The Quarterly Review of
Biology, 1 March2013) "In conclusion, this sizeable book is worth
every page. It demands slow, steady reading. The writing style is
very easy for even a non-science student to read and understand,
especially those concerned with environmental conservation and
protection. The figures are helpful with caricatures drawn to make
the reading more fun. And the best thing about the book is that it
satisfies all the related queries one may have about the topic,
from its history to politics to biology to physics." (International
Journal of Environmental Studies, 21 February 2012)
"I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed by it, and feel it
should find a place in the non-fiction best-seller lists."
(Biodivers Conserv, 2011) "Paul Hatcher and Nick Battey have
clearly taken the significance of this role to heart, putting a
great deal of thought into how to engage their target audience;
namely under-graduates wishing to learn about their topic." (Taylor
& Francis, 24 November 2011) "The figures are helpful with
caricatures drawn to make the reading more fun. And the best thing
about the book is that it satisfies all the related queries one may
have about the topic, from its history to politics to biology to
physics." (International Journal of Environmental Sciences, 1
February 2012) "This title is appropriate for undergraduate
students in many disciplines, including biology. It will also be
useful for readers interested in the ways human interact with other
species. Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels." (Choice,
1 November 2011)
