Description:
|
In this collection of Australian stories, a diverse range of people bring to the fore, their love of the sea. From a surfer, a sailor, a conservationist and a First Nations scientist to name but a few, and encompassing climate change, a surf programme for veterans, swimming for Muslim women and more, this is an inspirational and thought-provoking read, celebrating the life-affirming power of the ocean.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"The book consists of a series of interviews/stories with a range of people who have found peace/a cure/ support when interacting with the sea".
"The book is inspirational and is thoughtfully written. I wasn't expecting to be hooked but I was - every individual that the author interviewed provided food for thought and plenty to talk about".
"It is inspiring to see the power of the ocean used in so many different situations for human healing and growth. Time in the ocean often inspires people to engage in activism to protect ecosystems".
The ionterviews with Aboriginal artists/leaders gave a completely different perspective on the ocean and the greed of multinational companies which often leads to damage".
'This book is easy to read. These are Australian stories and a lot of people from Aotearoa will relate well to them".
"I don't often read a book in one sitting - this one Idid".
