Críticas
"Samantha Weinberg has written a lovely book about this discovery and What It All Means, and everybody ought to read it... This is terrific stuff, and even if you haven't given much thought recently to big, supposedly extinct fishes first found in East Africa and then in Indonesia, you ought to read this book. It will knock your socks off."-- Richard Ellis, London "Times"Weinberg knows what is important and what is not, but does not let good stories go unnoticed all the same. Her command of the details is impressive--you come away knowing what the excitement was all about. The account is excellent and humane...and the cliffhangers about extinction and possible other habitats are exciting as well."-- Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.ukA "fascinating study of an arcane subject and the scientists caught up in the adventure...full of incident and skulduggery. Weinberg holds us enthralled until the last page."-- "Tatler, London"The discovery of the coelacanth, as told in Samantha Weinberg's thrilling new book, reads like some classic Spielberg creation - Indiana Jones let loose in a real-life Jurassic Park."-- "The Mail on Sunday, London"this book has all the ingredients of a bestseller: a curious, four-limbed fish to which we probalby owe our own evolutionary existence, a host of eccentric icthyologists, Teutonic submariners, British adventurers, and a series of political and environmental imbroglios."-- Giles Foden, "Guardian, London"Weinberg's lively account of politics and serendipity in marine research helps you understand how even a fish could engender fanaticism."-- Richard Fortey, "Yorkshire Post, England"Samantha Weinberg's account of the many lives of the coelacanth has all the ingredientsof a great scientific story...rare mytical beasts, mad professors, last-minute mercy dashes, international piracy, high-level political intrigue, and richly satisfactory cast of supplementary cameos...Weinberg skillfully fills the narrative with educational asides and...sharp character sketches."-- Bella Bathurst, The "Scotsman, UK"a fascinating and accessible study of an arcane subject."-- "Literary Review, EnglandSamantha Weinberg "writes with enthusiasm and passion."-- Simon Singh, "The Sunday Telegraph"a fascinating tale...Samantha Weinberg uses her journalistic skills to weave an entertaining and well researched account of coelacanth mania."-- Gail Vines, "Independent, UKa "lively book...part natural history, part adventure story and...part evolutionary musing...garnished with great splashes of narrative color."-- The "Daily Telegraph, UK"Samantha Weinberg's "A Fish Caught in Time is like Dalva Sobel's "Longitude or Simon Winchester's "The Professor and the Madman--great fun to read yet seriously informative. All three of these journalist-authors know how to craft a good story."--Michael Dirda, "The Washington Post
