Thought that some who get into controversial issues.....could be interested in this new book. Thanks.
Mike Nolan...see below Harpoon: Into the Heart of Whaling, has just been published in the United States and Canada by Da Capo Press. Using key species of whales as allegories, Harpoon is a chronicle designed to make sense of the whaling issue to both scientist and lay reader. Rights, Blues, Sperm, Minkes and Humpbacks are examined in detail, and there are detours into Fins, Orcas and Grays. Harpoon has a great deal of new inside information on the struggle for whales, and focusses particularly on the current dispute over Japanese scientific whaling. A review of the book appears in The Economist magazine this month. http://www.economist.com/books/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11326254.
