Hello Everyone I have recently read Carl Safina's book "Voyage of the Turtle In Pursuit of the Earths Last Dinosaur".
This is an excellent book and should be on every beginning college student's reading list. It not only tracks the history, biology, migration but also the social problems harming sea turtles. Most often reading lists identify terrestrial topics. This one is a global voyage of the worlds oceans and its sea turtles. It would complement everything else.
