Author-Robert H. Busch

In Gray Whales, Wandering Giants Robert Busch chronicles man's historic fascination with and affection for the marine mammal tha has become a huge attraction on its twice-yearly migration along the west coast of North America. No other whale routinely allows humans to touch it, and no other whale is watched by so many people each year.

This first complete natural history of the gray whale is illustrated with more than 80 colour photographs, including a number of beautiful underwater shots. Along with detail of the life history of the whale (evolution, intelligence, social behaviour, relationships with other species, etc.), Gray Whale, Wandering Giants cover man's exploitation of the whale, its comeback from the brink of extinction, the whale's place in aboriginal life and mythology, and its current and future management issues.
