Biology isn't boring - so why are so many biologists?
I'm a writer, but I'm also a scientist. Science, I found, was the easy part.
Good writing changes the reader. It can inform, or it can entertain. Even better, it can do both.

Lecture and Launch at the Vancouver Aquarium


I'm very fortunate to be able to talk about The End of the River in mid-November at the Vancouver Aquarium, a wonderful institution where I have lots of friends and colleagues. I've chosen the provocative title "How Not To Save Global Fisheries" because I think the so-called "experts" like me often think they have the answers - but in my case, it turned out that the more I learned, the less I was certain of!

I'm especially excited about being able to show some of the wonderful photos of Brazil's São Francisco River, which flows through my book. They were taken by the young Brazilian photographer João Zinclar, who also took the shot used on the front cover. A gifted guy.
