Customer Reviews

Written by someone who doesn't know which end of a hammer to hold.

This book is a disappointment from the outset. Where do I begin, first she (Bernstein) writes about the history of aquaculture and leaves out the Aztec's giant aquaponic system. Next disappointment is her constant redundancy it seems she gets paid by the word! And what is really annoying to anyone who has ever had a job outside of a cubicle ( I am a construction worker for 30 yrs) is her complete lack of common Sense! Obviously she is completely out of her depth when life calls for more than the use of a laptop.
