Farley Mowat does not tell of the extinction of one species. His unforgettable narrative tells of the devastation of all different types of animal life from a region where the forests once teemed with game, where the fish could be scooped up with baskets...and where the Eskimo curlew fell in clouds of thousands to sportsmen who used them for target practicebeforeturning their guns to clay pigeons.

And he astounds us with his account of the killing that continues--of wolf and whale, seal and bear, fish and fowl. Monumental in scope, chilling in its impact,Sea of Slaughteris a warning, a vision, and a powerful testament for preserving the living grandeur fast disappearing from our world.Mowat, Farley is the author of 'Sea of Slaughter', published 1985 under ISBN 9780770420680 and ISBN 0770420680.
