Description

Fathoms: the world in the whale is a thought-provoking exploration of our connection to whales and the state of our seas. When Rebecca Giggs encountered a stranded humpback whale, she began to wonder how these animals might shed light on environmental change. This book blends natural history, philosophy, and science to examine questions about the impact of technology on our relationship with whales and the future that awaits us. Giggs introduces readers to rare whales, explores the astonishing variety found in whale sounds, and delves into the deeps to discover how one whale's death can spark a great flourishing of creatures. She also examines the plastic pollution pervading their underwater environment and confronts the charisma of these magnificent mammals. A work of profound insight and wonder, Fathoms offers a powerful view of some of the most urgent issues of our time. In lively prose, Giggs takes readers on a journey to explore the world in the whale, shedding light on the condition of our seas and our connection to nature in the midst of an ecological crisis.
