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
LoC catalog #: QL737.C425 S82 2014
