Description This book explores the role whales have played in history, the human imagination, and the oceans themselves. The largest animals to have lived on earth, whales inspire awe: the longest individual on record measured more than 33 meters, and a blue whale's tongue alone can weigh mote than an African elephant. Whales can also inspire greed. At the height of industrial whaling, more than 60.000 whales were removed from the oceans each year. It wasn't until humans brought these diving mammals to the brink of extinction that we truly appreciated their charisma, intelligence, even culture as revealed in song.
