Message in a Bottle
with Holly Hogan
Hosted by Stephen Brockwell
If you are going to read one book about the climate crisis, read this one. It is tremendously beautiful and sad and hopeful.
Stephen Brockwell hosts an essential conversation with Holly Hogan, author Message in a Bottle: Ocean Dispatches from a Seabird Biologist, a book that conjures an exquisite diversity of marine life and warns of a central threat to its survival: ocean plastic.
Bringing together nature, science and adventure writing, Hogan shines a light on our plastic-addicted lifestyle, offering an eyewitness account of its devastating effects on the marine environment—and highlighting international efforts to combat it. With lyrical prose and a reverential eye for the majesty and fragility of our natural world, Message in a Bottle is a clarion call to protect global oceans and the life they sustain, including our own.
