A bold and lyrical exploration of our fraught relationship with the
sea's most magnificent inhabitant, the whale. Whales loom large in
the human imagination. From a history of animals being harpooned
worldwide to today's ecotourism operators and the work of marine
biologists, whales have, for centuries, attracted myth, symbolism,
significance, and exploitation. But whales, and the waters they
inhabit, are changing. Even as the international community draws
closer to a ban on factory whaling, whales surface with disturbing
news from the deep. Once-rare whale strandings, pollution and
toxins accrued in whale bodies, plastics consumed by whales, the
stress of exposure to industrial sound, and diseases contracted
from livestock are direct results of human activity. Incisive,
provocative, and timely, Fathoms uses the story of the whale to
examine our own story and that of the health of the planet.
