Reviews for The Death and Life of Monterey Bay. A Story of Revival.
"From natural paradise to environmental catastrophe and back again, the story of Monterey Bay is a compelling one. Lucky then...that marine biologists Stephen R. Palumbi and Carolyn Sotka do it justice.... A gentle, considered and stirring biography of an eco-system; the book is a fitting legacy for Monterey Bay." (The Ecologist)"
