In this book, the famous American ecologist and zoologist Carl Safina goes on a journey after the 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 resilience is unfolding before our eyes. In an effort to learn more about albatross, along the way the author meets many of the ocean's wildlife. 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 inaccessible regions of the albatrosses' habitat.
