Reviews

A moving meditation on nature. . . . In examining small details in nature, Norment manages to effectively address larger existential issues.--Publishers Weekly

An intriguing tapestry of scientific exploration and natural history that also takes turns as a eulogy, a love letter, a poem and ultimately a plea.--High Country News

Creates a poetic-ecological argument for conservation on a global scale. . . . Highly recommended.--Choice

For those who seek . . . a melange of science, literature and passion, Relicts of a Beautiful Sea offers sanctuary as rare as the survivors it illuminates.--Kansas Alumni Magazine

The marvel of aquatic animal life in isolated, seemingly hostile desert surroundings of the Death Valley region is beautifully captured in this blend of natural history, the hard realities and occasional successes of conservation biology in the region, and personal reflections on nature and human foibles.--Copeia

You don't typically find intelligent passion like that in treatises with this kind of scientific gravamen, but they glitter throughout the length of Relicts of a Beautiful Sea. This is natural history of the finest order.--Open Letters
