Their numbers are in freefall, dropping by nearly 70 percent in the last sixty years, a billion fewer now than in 1950. Extinction stalks the ocean, and there is a danger that the hundred-million-year-old cries of a seabird colony, rolling around in the bays and headlands of high latitudes, will this century become but a memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author, \u003cb\u003eAdam Nicolson\u003c\/b\u003e has won many major awards including the Somerset Maugham Award, the W.
