Dear Colleagues,
I’m pleased to announce the publication of the print edition of my new book on gray whales to complement the digital edition released in early 2014.
Title: E. robustus: The biology and human history of gray whales
Format: 6”x9”, 199 pp. paperback 140 color photographs, maps and drawings
Description:
The transformation of our view of gray
whales over the past century from devilfish to gentle giants has been nothing
short of remarkable. Whether you are a casual whale watcher or an avid observer
of these animals, there is something in this book for you. Extensively
illustrated with color photographs, maps and line drawings, this book makes
information on the biology and human history of gray whales accessible to
readers unfamiliar with the scientific literature on the species. Topics range
from early whaling activities and basic anatomy and migratory behavior of gray
whales to the latest research on the radio-tracking and genetics of western
gray whales, gray whales in captivity and the growth of modern whale-watching
activities along the North American west coast.
ISBN: 978-0-692-22542-4
