In this book, the famous American ecologist and zoologist Karl Safina goes on a journey after albatrosses in the hope that they will open their world to him. A very real albatross named Amelia becomes a guide on the journey. A dramatic and poetic story of struggle and hope, exceptional endurance and vitality unfolds before our eyes. In an effort to learn more about albatrosses, along the way, the author gets acquainted with many representatives of the wildlife living in the ocean. Safina manages not only to see the world in which they live, but also to look at it through their eyes. Weaving the metaphorical with the real, he harmoniously combines scientific and historical facts with adventure and exciting plot twists. Together with Amelia, we move through space and time, penetrating the remote and impregnable edges of the albatross habitat. The book, "Through the Eyes of an Albatross," won the John Burroughs Medal for Best Natural History and Conservation Work, and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences named it the best book of the year.
