Sorry I didn't update.
I tried showing you the pictures from this book, but they are black-and-white, from the 90s and printed on the normal paper of this paperback edition so ... yeah.
What I can say is that the author's love for these animals is palpable and the book has made me cry several times already. Also, it's from 2001 ... guess how much has "improved" since then?

It's so eerie sometimes, you read a book from the 90s and there it is, the PERFECT quote for what is going on TODAY - and it's from 1848!

For you English-speakers:
Epidemics are like giant danger signs on which the statesman can read clearly that his people's development is disrupted in a way that not even careless politics may ignore.

The book makes it clear how slow we are to realize the devastating effects of our greed on the world around us and how this narrowness slows scientific understanding.

This is like a TED video that leaves you a tad smarter and sure of what you knew, that humans are selfish, ignorant, and destructive. And you're a part of the problem if you eat shrimp.
