The dovekie is a stocky seabird the size of a child's heart. The polar bear is an apex predator. The North Atlantic right whale outweighs the humpback. Wildlife biologist Holly Hogan brings extraordinary life to the wonder and resilience of these creatures and many other birds, fish and marine mammals she has encountered in sea voyages from the Arctic to the Antarctic oceans. Bringing together nature, science, and adventure writing, Hogan shines a light on our plastic-addicted lifestyle and offers a compelling, eyewitness account of its devastating effects on the marine environment.
