Pristine Seas: Journeys to the Ocean's Last Wild Places, by Enric Sala Review “Growing up by the sea, I developed a real love and understanding of our ocean. As I have travelled from Pole-to-Pole working to protect this precious asset, I have for a long time supported the work of Dr Enric Sala to protect the last wild places in the ocean. Enric became a friend and I gladly agreed to serve on the board of Pristine Seas. With this book, Enric makes us travel to these extraordinary places, revealing what the future of the ocean could be, if we take the right decisions for its recovery.”—H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco “Sala's passion is enduring, the work ahead… immense.”—Minnesota Public Radio “National Geographic explorer Enric Sala founded a project to find, explore, and protect the few remaining wild places in our oceans. Partnering with Leonardo DiCaprio, he’s already inspired world leaders to create ocean sanctuaries. His new book, Pristine Seas, highlights ten aquatic Edens.”—The Guardian “National Geographic explorer in residence Enric Sala, author of the new book Pristine Seas: Journeys to the Ocean’s Last Wild Places, calls these regions ‘fish banks,’ in which fishing operators can draw down the interest without depleting the capital.”—The Washington Post “The book is an expedition memoir that presents a glimpse into the past as well as offering inspiration and hope for the future . . . Sala’s photography is stunning, almost unbelievable in capturing the beauty of mostly unexplored locations with unusual and exotic wildlife.”—Apogee Photo Magazine"Sala's gorgeous large-format book, radiant with National Geographic photography, documents crystal-clear waters, huge schools of sharks, lagoons dotted with jellyfish, and the rich pastels of unspoiled coral reefs." --Natural History

Terribly disappointed and have to put the blame for that on the publisher - National Geographic of all! The worst part was the type and the placement of photo descriptions. Forget now, bc I only had it a matter of hours before returning it. In places the type was Bold - possibly headings. GOOD! But then for some bizarre reason the further description was grayed out on white pages. Difficult to read. Also after the cover which had me drooling over "The More" to be inside, there just were not enough photos of these Pristine areas for me. The other thing I didn't like that was also a publishing decision was that more often than not the description was not ON the photo pg and not even on the overleaf - sometimes several pgs distant. I've never seen a photography book laid out that way where one had to nearly hunt for the description, go back to that page to connect some specifics, etc. No. Did not like it at all. The Seller was terrific in refunding the purchase and accepting the book's return.

This beautiful book is a real treasure of pictures and information. There are well over 100 stunning colour photographs of life in the oceans and the book is forwarded by the hugely popular actor Leonardo DiCaprio. It's a gorgeous and weighty hardback that is an absolute pleasure to read and/or just sit and enjoy the fantastic photographs. Highly recommended to anyone who loves the sea or cares about the conservation of our oceans and associated sea-life.In 2008 Enric Sala joined the ranks of National Geographic explorers and started the Pristine Seas project (visit pristineseas.org). In the book we visit 10 places around the world where the seas can be described as still 'Pristine'. Enric Sala, his team and their key partners have joined efforts with some success to inspire country leaders to protect these remaining pristine sea locations.At each location the book provides maps and dazzlingly wonderful colour photographs of sea animals, plant and fish species. Many of these places are wild and untouched providing perfect environments to allow many unique photo opportunities. There is geographical information and details of the dives and findings. Many of these places under the water have never been visited by man before.In his forward Leonardo DiCaprio writes 'Losing the wildest places in our oceans, and on our planet, is not just a crime against nature - it's a crime against every species on Earth. Pristine Seas gives me hope and proves that our oceans can be protected for generations to come'. This is a beautiful book memorable for its message and glorious images. Thank you to Louise at lrtpublicity.co.uk for the review copy. I will pass it on to my local library for others to enjoy.

I can assure you, he is looking on from somewhere and loving this book. And maybe even envying it a little bit.Jacques would envy it because of the combination of beauty and brains. For beauty I’m not talking about the author (though he has been compared to Antonio Banderas for his good looks). I’m talking about the gorgeous, “oh my goodness,” photos that range from a “bold snapper” staring at you from Pitcairn Island to fisheye shots of leaf corals at Ducie Atoll — from schooling hammerhead sharks at Cocos Island to close-ups of seahorses. Suffice it to say the book is a visual splendor. Yet there’s much more.Enric Sala has ventured to the far corners of the oceans in a way that few have since Cousteau. He has discovered relatively pristine ecosystems in some of the less visited locations like Sala y Gomez and the Line Islands. His travels are amazing as he takes us to so many truly obscure ocean locations — like the Desventuradas — the Unfortunate Islands — somewhere in the middle of nowhere off of Chile. I found myself looking closely at the maps, thinking, “What in the … I never knew this place existed."But the thing that Jacques would have envied most is the brain power behind the text. This is not your typical tourist book for nature. It’s the voice of the cutting edge of knowledge on our planet regarding how the world’s oceans are doing. And guess what ...The news is actually fairly inspiring. Despite centuries of abuse, there are signs we may be able to put the skids on the decline and pull the oceans up out of the nose dive everyone feared was happening a decade ago. That’s the conclusion you come to by the time you finish reading the book. And more importantly, the National Geographic Pristine Seas program that produced the book is working to double the amount of ocean area around the world under protection.If anyone is qualified to give an overall assessment of the oceans it is veteran marine biologist Enric Sala. It’s a great book, and only fitting that he opens it with the forward from Leonardo DiCaprio, who has himself been fighting for decades to protect nature. Then, near the end of the book, Sala quotes the other famous Leonardo (Da Vinci) who said that some day people will see the murder of an animal, “as they now see the murder of a man.”Things are changing, there is hope for the oceans, and this book does an excellent job of capturing that optimism. It is a landmark achievement, that Jacques Cousteau truly would have applauded.
