This well-loved copy of “The Great, Great Whale” by D.J. Harris offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of whaling and humanity’s complex relationship with these majestic creatures. Published in the late 20th century, this book came at a time when public awareness of environmental conservation was on the rise, and the once-thriving whaling industry had largely declined. Harris, a renowned naturalist and writer, brings to life the stories of whalers, scientists, and activists, weaving together a tapestry of perspectives that illuminate the cultural, economic, and ecological significance of whales. With its well-researched narratives and evocative descriptions, this volume invites readers to explore the depths of the ocean and the depths of human experience, making it a compelling addition to any collection focused on maritime history, natural sciences, or environmental literature.
