From the threat of slaughter to sanctuary, the experiences of the humpback whales as they travel between the cold Antarctic and the warm tropical seas off northern Australia in what is known as one of the longest migrations in the animal world are described in this engaging tale. It is also the story of human impact on humpback whale populations, which were decimated almost to extinction during the first 60 years of the 20th century. This passionate, carefully researched, and richly illustrated book brings to life the story of whaling, along with the associated tale of the long, sometimes fruitful, and sometimes vexing relationship between scientists and whalers.
