ERIKSEN, Marcus
Junk Raft: An Ocean Voyage and a Rising Tide of Activism to Fight Plastic Pollution
Boston, Beacon Press, (2017). Eriksen sets out on a boat made of plastic trash to study the oceans and finds, beyond the "Pacific Garbage Patch," that our seas contain a "plastic smog" of permeating microplastics. Includes a history of plastic pollution, a look at the lobbying of the plastics industry, and proposals for a sustainable future. Signed by the author, with the added sentiment "For our oceans!" The author's business card is included. Fine in a fine dust jacket. As usual with the books in this field, very uncommon signed.
