Paul Greenberg is a bestselling American author focusing on environmental and technology issues. His book, Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, was published in 2010 by Penguin Press on July 15,[1] and entered the New York Times Best Selling Hard Cover List as of August 13.[2] In addition to its commercial success the book received wide critical acclaim, most notably on the cover of the New York Times Book Review by the Times' food editor Sam Sifton[3] who called it "a necessary book for anyone truly interested in what we take from the sea to eat." The book won the 2011 .[4] Many of the themes in Four Fish were later explored in a 2017 Frontline PBS documentary Greenberg anchored and co-wrote called .[5] Greenberg's 2015 TED Talk[6] has received over 1.5 million views.
