  This is a good read too: http://rosegeorge.com/site/books/ninety-percent-of-everything http://rosegeorge.com/site/books/ninety-percent-of-everythin... "Rose George, acclaimed chronicler of what we would rather ignore, sails from Rotterdam through Suez to Singapore on ships the length of football fields and the height of Niagara Falls; she patrols the Indian Ocean with an anti-piracy task force; she joins seafaring chaplains, and investigates the harm that ships are inflicting on on endangered whales.
