"Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World (1997), a work of non-fiction by reporter and author Mark Kurlansky, traces the history of man’s exploitation of the North Atlantic cod as a resource, in order to shed light on our changing relationship with the natural world at large. A bestseller upon publication, Cod has been translated into more than fifteen languages. The book is a pioneer in the genre of historical writing that finds new angles on familiar stories by tracing the history of a particular commodity."--provided by the publisher
