Critics Review

Determinedly positive … There seem to be real grounds for hope. You can just hear [Attenborough’s] voice. The lilt and rasp of it … Passionate. The great naturalist’s latest book, written with Colin Butfield, explores the Earth’s last wilderness, from octopus gardens to booming fur seal numbers. * The Times *[Sir David Attenborough] is a one-off … a genius. * Daily Mirror *Educating and inspiring the next generation on the importance of the oceans is a key message. It reveals that the ocean is the part of our world that can, and in some cases has, recovered the fastest, and in our lifetimes we could see a fully restored marine world, even richer and more spectacular than we could possibly hope, if we act now to protect it. * Daily Express *Gripping… the wildlife is so fantastical that the images on the page feel like works of the imagination. * Evening Standard *The great naturalist’s latest book explores Earth’s last wilderness, from octopus gardens to booming fur seal numbers. [It] is determinedly positive. There seem to be real grounds for hope. Given a chance, the authors insist, sea life is astonishingly resilient. * The Times *
