Sounding of the Whale: Science and Cetaceans in the Twentieth Century

From the trials of Job to the legends of Sinbad, whales have breached in the human imagination as looming figures of terror, power, confusion, and mystery. This book tells a story of how science, politics, and simple human wonder intertwined to transform the way we see these behemoths from below.
