B/w illustrations by Annabelle DeCamillis. Blue-green paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Minor faults, ink mar to bottom edge else very good in slightly used dust-wrapper. "In this far-flung account, James McClintock takes readers to some of the most breathtaking waters the world has to offer while capturing the drama and serendipity in the beloved sport of fishing. He and his fishing buddies and professional guides fish off the marshy barrier islands of Louisiana, teeming with life but also ravaged by recent disasters like the Deepwater Horizon spill. He travels to the remote waters of New Zealand's Stewart Island, where recreational and commercial hand-line fishing for blue cod is sustainable; fishes for gigantic Antarctic toothfish through a drilled ice hole at McMurdo Station; and scouts for spotted bass on Alabama's Cahaba River, which has the highest diversity of freshwater fish in North America. As he takes this global journey, he shows how sea-level rise, rapid warming, ocean acidification, erosion, pollution, and overfishing each threaten the fish and their habitats." "A veteran scientist and adventurer, Jim McClintock writes with passion and knowledge of his love of fishing within some of the most beautiful yet threatened waterways on Earth. He issues a stark reminder of what's at stake if we fail to replace fossil fuels with clean energy sources." (Robert Redford). "Like all the best nonfiction, A Naturalist Goes Fishing is at once intimate and global. James McClintock shares with readers his immense knowledge of - and deep love for - the world's increasingly threatened waters." (Elizabeth Kolbert).

Issued without a dust jacket. -- Marine Chemical Ecology presents an overview of the field at the intersection of marine biology, chemistry, and ecology. Designed as both a reference and conceptual synthesis, this volume brings together an international array of experts to explore the diverse roles of secondary metabolites in marine systems, from molecular processes to community-level interactions, and from basic science to applied technologies. The book is structured in four thematic sections. The first offers a phylogenetic and conceptual introduction, grounding marine natural product chemistry in its ecological, evolutionary, and biosynthetic contexts. Chapter 1 provides a taxonomically broad review of secondary metabolites across marine organisms. Ch2, by Garson, presents a biosynthetic perspective, examining how ecological functions shape chemical diversity. Cimino and Ghiselin, in Chapter 3, theorize evolutionary trends in the development of marine chemical defenses, helping explain observed patterns of metabolite production. The second section turns to an organismal scale, investigating the role of natural products in ecological interactions such as predation, competition, and symbiosis. Stachowicz explores the chemical ecology of mobile benthic invertebrates, while McClintock, Baker, and Steinberg examine chemical defenses in planktonic life stages. Paul et al. provide a detailed account of macroalgal-herbivore dynamics, and Van Alstyne et al. investigate biogeographic trends in algal defenses. Amsler and colleagues present insights from Antarctic systems, emphasizing geographic variability in secondary metabolite function. Cronin evaluates chemical defense in light of ecological theories of resource allocation. Steinberg et al. discuss how surface-bound compounds mediate colonization and fouling. Section three focuses on cellular and physiological mechanisms. Targett and Arnold assess the digestive effects of secondary compounds in marine herbivores. Amsler and Iken discuss chemotaxis and chemokinesis in marine microorganisms. Hadfield and Paul synthesize work on settlement and metamorphosis cues, while Trapido-Rosenthal links marine chemical ecology to neurobiological processes. Karentz addresses UV-protective compounds, such as mycosporine-like amino acids, that help organisms resist solar damage. The final section explores practical and applied aspects. Sennett reviews the role of marine chemical cues in drug discovery, linking natural product chemistry with biomedical prospecting. Rittschof discusses antifouling strategies using natural deterrents, highlighting potential commercial applications. Bernan concludes with an overview of bioactive metabolites from marine prokaryotes, emphasizing their underexplored biotechnological promise. Together, these chapters establish Marine Chemical Ecology as a key resource for understanding how chemical interactions structure marine ecosystems and how these processes can be harnessed for scientific and industrial innovation. The volume's integrative framework - encompassing evolutionary theory, ecological interactions, organismal physiology, molecular mechanisms, and applied research - demonstrates not only the disciplinary breadth of marine chemical ecology but also its growing conceptual coherence. By bridging foundational science and real-world applications, the book illustrates how the field has evolved into a methodologically diverse area of inquiry, while simultaneously highlighting its potential for continued innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and relevance to pressing challenges.
