What The Reviewers Say
Roberts’s memoir is a rich and loving ode to the sea, to coral reefs and to science itself.
Reef Life is a vibrant memoir of the joys, as well as the grind, of a research career beginning in the 1980s that has spanned a golden age of coral reef science. It is also a fine introduction to the ecology of reefs and the existential threats they now face.
... it is the many passages that celebrate the profound beauty and biodiversity of coral reefs that make the most compelling argument for change.
Reef Life is a richly impressionistic personal tour of the coral reef world before it’s gone forever.
