Daniel Pauly is a professor in the Fisheries Centre and Zoology Department at the University of British Columbia. Until 2008, he was Director of the University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre.
"Daniel Pauly's new book will be of great interest to students of
marine science and policy alike. With accessible language and good
humor, Dr. Pauly places some of the most important marine
conservation science articles of the last two decades in context in
a way no one else could. 5 Easy Pieces is not only an excellent
resource for those interested in these rapidly evolving fields; it
also is a revealing commentary on the process and outcomes of
scientific discovery."
--Heather Leslie "Sharpe Assistant Professor of Environmental
Studies and Biology, Brown University"
"Pauly is the grand master of fisheries science. This is his
engrossing account of how he discovered the true impacts of fishing
on marine life, and is a fascinating window into the way scientific
advances are made."
--Callum Roberts "Professor of marine conservation, University of
York"
"The availability of these articles and commentaries in one volume
will be of significant advantage to students taking courses in
fishery biology, marine biology, and natural resource management.
Highly recommended."
-- "CHOICE"
"When Daniel Pauly warns that we'd better pay attention to the
massive impacts that industrial fisheries are having on marine
ecosystems, we'd better...pay attention. Pauly, who identified the
concept of 'fishing down the food web' (taking out the largest
predatory fish species first), believes that the future for fish
and fisheries is bleak unless we are able to revise our approach to
marine resources. This book is remarkably accessible, and more
important, remarkable convincing."
--Richard Ellis "author of The Empty Ocean"
