### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Lyrical, sad but hopeful treatise on nature and our place in it.
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015*

I would have to say that this is one of the new classics of natural history writing, in line with "A Sand County Almanac", "Silent Spring", and even that most hallowed of texts, "Walden". Carl Safina is probably my very favorite natural history writer, so I will admit a touch of bias, but this book merits all the praise I am about to bestow upon it. Part meditation on time, tides, and the cycles of nature at a small beach house on Long Island known as "Lazy Point", part travelogue to various locations around the planet, from coral reefs in Belize to a discussion of the intricate ecological web of grizzly bears, salmon, and forests in Southern Alaska and the precarious struggle for survival in an ever warming world of polar bears in Svalbard, Safina imparts to all these a grace, beauty, and just simply outstanding natural history reporting and writing. Another component of the book consists of what almost could be termed as an environmental and human manifesto on how we could and should be living in and with our natural world. Many truly thought provoking and inspiring ideas, concepts, and pearls or wisdom come through in these particular sections of the text and were often my favorite parts of the entire book. "The View From Lazy Point" can and should be read more than once and absorbed as deeply as possible and offers many deep thoughts and ideas to ponder about our relationship to nature and how the natural world, while assaulted at every turn by the greed and avarice of man, can still be resilient, sustaining, and truly healing and inspiration for those willing to do the right things for all life and creatures we share this small blue planet with. A very remarkable and wonderful read, I would give it my highest recommendation.

    A Great Stepstone in the Quest for Understanding
  

*by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2011*

Carl Safina is a lover of life, spirit, intellect and reason, and his voice speaks as clear and true as the lighthouse beacon once spoke to ships at sea enshrouded in fog.  As a magnificent wave rises and curls, then shatters to multitudes of droplets and foam splashing high and wide, so does he portray life in these times as the natural world breaks and shatters on human ignorance and desires.  With empirical wisdom laced with facts, compassion for human failing as well as the beasts and future children who have neither choice nor voice, Safina lets us know where we stand in the sands of our time on earth.  The secret, silent struggles of the times in which we live, the obliviousness in our actions upon the interwoven textures of life on Planet Earth are related through personal experiences and observations like your good neighbor the down-to-earth scientist in this exquisite and elegantly written book.I've lived on the planet for 65 years, and am a prolific reader, writer and book lover.  Throughout my life, I've been asked what is my favorite book, what might I recommend, and those have never been easy questions until I read The View from Lazy Point.  There are many, many great books, but for content, urgency and clear-mindedness, The View from Lazy Point stands head and shoulders above.  I think this book should be required reading for everyone on the planet.  I urge my friends, even the not-so-literary, to read it.  It may well be the holiday gift for everyone this year.  Reading this book is one of the kindest favors one can do for oneself, for our children's children and also, perhaps, our lovely Planet Earth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Interesting and informative
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2011*

Carl Safina's new book, The View From Lazy Point, centers on a little spit of land near near the end of Long Island and reaches out to remote places worldwide to broaden our understanding of the interrelationships of all creatures in the natural world. He interweaves his personal experience with descriptions of our environment today, how it got that way, and the direction we are headed. His writing style is easy and informative - never preachy or dry. It's a book you look forward to picking up as entertainment as well as education.
