Carl Safina is equal parts ocean lover and marine biologist. The View From Lazy Point is a fascinating, elegant, and deeply felt meditation on life at the water's edge and beyond. East coasters will especially enjoy Safina's musings on horseshoe crabs and bluefish. The most beautiful and inspired book of nature writing I've read in years.
