Economist Book of the Year --Audubon Book of the Year --American Library Association Award winner - Royal Society Winton prize Finalist - Winner of the Rachel Carson awardA Silent Spring for oceans by "the Rachel Carson of the fish world" (The New York Times) who appeared on the Imax film Wild Ocean and provided the scientific basis for the creation of the first high seas marine protected areas. For fans of Carl Safina and Elizabeth Kolbert. "Immensely entertaining, although it chronicles a tragedy... No account of the cataclysm is more engaging."
--Mark Kurlansky, The Washington Post
The sea feeds and sustains us, but everywhere we look marine life is under threat, from Caribbean reefs to arctic fisheries to the deepest regions of the sea. In this passionate paean to the sea and its creatures one of the world's foremost marine conservation biologists tells the story of man and the sea, from the earliest traces of life on earth to the oceans as we know them today. He considers the impact of fishing and ocean acidification, rising tides and warming seas, plastics and shifting currents, and reveals what we must do now to preserve our precious oceans. The struggles of Turtles, Dolphins, Whales and Tuna are relatively well known, but few people appreciate just how much our seas have changed in the last fifty years and how many species are now under acute stress. At once passionate and persuasive, The Ocean of Life will appeal to readers of Four Fish and The Sixth Extinction -to those who care about environmental sustainability, and to anyone who loves the sea and its creatures. "Excellent and engrossing... I hope a great many people read this book."
--G. Bruce Knecht, Wall Street Journal
"Authoritative and furious, urgent and persuasive"

not best quality, but does its job
Color: White
super easy to put up on the wall of my bedroom, and help it look less cluttered. appearance wise they look great, but quality wise one of the shelves was already starting to fall apart from the stand, almost as if it needed to be glued or secured better? it was super loose and kinda cheap feeling/looking just based on the one shelf falling apart. it's just okay.

Great Storage Solution
Color: White, Color: White
These 16’’ White Floating Shelves are truly wonderful for organizing and displaying items in any room. I’m currently using them in my craft room to store paint, and they have made it so much easier to keep everything tidy and accessible. The shelves are versatile enough for the bedroom, bathroom, living room, or nursery. Installation was straightforward and the shelves feel sturdy, holding a good amount of weight while maximizing wall space.
I’m giving four stars because the finish isn't quite as clean as shown in the listing photos—there are some minor imperfections in the look. Just as a note, the picture I’m including is taken right after installation, before adding the finishing touches. You can see where there are gaps along the seams (not talking about between the two shelves). The shelves do come with stickers to cover the screw holes, but I haven’t added them yet. Overall, these shelves are a practical addition to any home.

Great quality
Color: Rustic Brwon, Size: 16in
Hassle but they work great. I love the color, the thickness and quality. They do have some weight but in my opinion, I prefer that. Right now the four shelves are holding up my WiFi routers and remotes. Will buy again
