Very nice read, not packed with journal articles reference and footnotes but instead written for people like me. And, I actually remember more from a book like this than from a more academic one. And I will certainly read more on whales - any suggestions?
And for the content... well, we, humans, are truly one horrible, despicable, unscrupulous species, if we were to judge ourselves from what we have been doing to the whales. And if I wanted to be skeptical, we stopped hunting and mass-killing them not because we have become 'reasonable', but because we no longer make so much money on it. Time to quietly move on - bees and other insect species, forests are next. Fine, maybe I see it too tragically, but hey, yeah.
