The Whale in the Living Room follows the thrilling adventures of
award-winning wildlife documentary producer, John Ruthven, on a
journey of discovery - by turns memorable, touching and often funny
-that has helped the undersea world flow into countless living
rooms to reveal many of our ocean's mysteries. John is the only
producer to have worked on both Blue Planet and Blue Planet II,
presented by David Attenborough, in total making nearly fifty ocean
films, including episodes of Discovery Shark Week, expedition films
for National Geographic and coral conservation documentaries for
PBS. With innovative technology he has helped capture unique images
of a sperm whale mother and calf, pictures of glowing creatures
half a mile deep, and grey reef sharks hunting by the light of the
moon. We swim with him through blue lagoons, dive into the abyss to
encounter new life forms, and experience everything from the danger
of getting lost at sea to the sadness of finding a starving whale
with a fishing net caught in its mouth. Through each remarkable
adventure, John gives insight into what we currently know about the
ocean, and our whole blue planet, revealing that the sea really is
the 'saltwater country' the Yolngu people of Australia know it to
be - a place with as many unique destinations in water as on land.
John's book also explores why we have remained largely blind to the
pollution in our oceans until recently and charts how plastic 'went
wild' in the sea, to understand how we might begin to clear up the
mess.
