Despite the threat of climate change, ‘there are plenty of reasons to feel optimistic,’ she notes, and practical solutions to undertake. . . . Perhaps Rowan Wright’s best suggestions are those that deal with individual actions and consumer decisions. Her discussion of sunscreen, for instance, urges people to shun the many popular brands containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can ‘disrupt coral reproduction and growth and exacerbate coral bleaching.’ Rowan Wright makes a strong case for how choices—big and small, collective and individual—can change the world.\"--Publishers Weekly;\"Rowan Wright's book is a clear call to action to modernize the Law of the Sea so that it can deal with the changes in society, in the sea, on land, and in the atmosphere that have arisen since it came into force in 1994. This is the freshest, most sensible, and most optimistic perspective I have seen in a long time. I enjoy very much the positive, can-do approach. Very motivating.\"--Drew Harvell, Cornell University, author of A Sea of Glass and Ocean Outbreak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
