  Everyone alive today is witnessing a mass extinction event caused by the more than eight billion humans who share this planet. At times, it seems there is little hope. Climate change, resource exploitation, agrochemicals, overfishing, plastics, dead zones in our oceans, drought and desertification, conversion of habitat to housing, farming, and industrial infrastructure—the list of impacts and insults goes on and on. We are, it seems, on an unalterable path that will continue to decimate biodiversity.A feeling of hopeless, while not unwarranted, is part of the problem. Without hope, without some belief in the possibility of positive outcomes, the fight for nature is over. Why even try if the battle is already lost?While staring the problems squarely in the face, A Sea Full of Turtles offers hope for those who care about our living world. Delivered as a travel narrative set in Mexico's Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), at one level the book focuses on dramatically underfunded but highly successful efforts to protect sea turtles. But the book goes beyond Mexico and beyond sea turtles to look at how some humans have changed their relationship with nature—and how that change can one day end the extinction crisis.Enchanting, galvanizing, and brimming with joy and wonder, A Sea Full of Turtles will inspire immediate action to face the great challenges that lie ahead. Pessimism is the lazy way out. Optimism, it turns out, is both a reasonable and an essential attitude for us all as we fight for the beautiful diversity of life on our Earth.

  On the Boardwalk

  A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
  Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
  
  "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
  "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
  "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
  "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
  "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
  "This memoir is astounding. I'm reading it a second time."—VANESSA REDGRAVE
  "A volume filled with moving, entertaining and fascinating memories, by one of our great stage and screen writers."—PETER TATCHELL
  "On the Boardwalk is full of audacity and joyfulness, jokes and tears, it blew my mind, as it will blow yours." – PETE TOWNSHEND
  "He writes like Philip Roth—but even funnier."—RUBY WAX
