درباره این کتاب:
A powerful
ode to marine life and the natural
world, these illuminating essays reveal
the elusive lives of whales in the
Pacific Ocean—home to orcas, humpbacks,
sperm, blue, and gray whales
Leigh Calvez has spent a dozen years
researching, observing, and probing the
lives of the giants of the deep. Here, she
relates the stories of nature's most
remarkable creatures, including the
familial orcas in the waters of Washington
State and British Columbia; the migratory
humpbacks; the ancient, deep-diving blue
whales, the largest animals on the planet.
The lives of these whales are conveyed
through the work of dedicated researchers
who have spent decades tracking them along
their secretive routes that extend for
thousands of miles, gleaning their habits
and sounds and distinguishing
peculiarities.
Calvez author invites the reader onto a
small research catamaran maneuvering among
100-foot long blue whales off the coast of
California; or to join the task of
monitoring patterns of humpback whale
movements at the ocean surface: tail
throw, flipper slap, fluke
up, or blow. To
experience whales is breathtaking. To
understand their lives deepens our
connection with the natural world.
