Reading Off the Charts: Beyond the Outer Shores and Year of Wonders: "It is hard to do justice to this book in so short an space or simple this reviewer but I hope it will find its place in the sun. It deserves to be made into a fine television series (like Carl and Ann Sagan?s and Steve Sotter?s Cosmos), recreating the stories, voyages and discoveries of Ed Ricketts and friends with this accompanying book with its reproduced specimen drawings, photos and extensive notes. Enough of the BBC biographies and nature shows, good as they are! Where is a creative producer when you need him/her? Let?s honor a hero of our own who has so much to give us as he did to his friends who immortalized him in literature. And I am grateful to Eric Enno Tamm for coming along at the right moment and writing such a fantastic book.
