Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us

Orcas are one of earth€s most intelligent animals. Benign and gentle, with their own languages and cultures, orcas€ amazing capacity for long-term memory and, arguably, compassion, makes the ugly story of the captive-orca industry especially damning. In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores how this extraordinary species has come to capture our imaginations€•and the catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal. In the tradition of Barry Lopez€s classic Of Wolves and Men, David Neiwert€s book is a powerful tribute to one of the animal kingdom€s most remarkable members.
