El. knyga: Ocean's Whistleblower: The Remarkable Life and Work of Daniel Pauly

&;[ Daniel Pauly] is an iconoclastic fisheries scientist ... who is so decidedly global in his life and outlook that he is nearly a man without a country.&;&;NEW YORK TIMES 

&;Daniel Pauly is a friend whose work has inspired me for years.&;&;TED DANSON

Daniel Pauly is a living legend in the world of marine biology. He coined the influential term &;shifting baselines,&; in which knowledge of environmental disaster fades over time, leading to a misguided understanding of our world. He blew the whistle on the global fishing industry, alerting the public to the devastation of overfishing. And he developed data-driven research methods that led to groundbreaking discoveries. 

Daniel Pauly is also a man whose life was shaped by struggle. Born after the Second World War to a white French woman and Black American GI in Paris, Pauly&;s childhood has been described as Dickensian. His father left before he was born and his mother, whose family did not accept her and her mixed-race son, fell prey to a manipulative Swiss couple who abducted Pauly under murky circumstances. He was taken to Switzerland, where he was treated cruelly as the couple&;s servant.  

Pauly escaped to Germany to attend university and, as a young man, travelled to the United States during the 1969 civil rights movement, where he met his father&;s family and experienced a political and racial reawakening. From there, he went on to have one of the most decorated careers in the field of marine biology. The Ocean&;s Whistleblower &;weaves together the challenges of marine research with an astonishing coming-of-age story&; (Andrew Sharpless, Oceana) and is told through interviews with colleagues, friends, and Pauly himself. A brilliant book about a brilliant man, The Ocean&;s Whistleblower finally profiles one of the most influential scientists of our time.
