Book Synopsis Puget Sound Whales for Sale by : Sandra Pollard
Download or read book Puget Sound Whales for Sale written by Sandra Pollard and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the history of the commercial capturing of orcas in Washington’s Puget Sound, the whales taken, and the efforts to save them. In November, 2005, Washington’s iconic killer whales, known as Southern Resident orcas, were placed on the endangered species list. It was a victory long overdue for a fragile population of fewer than one hundred whales. Author and certified marine naturalist Sandra Pollard traces the story and destinies of the many Southern Resident orcas captured for commercial purposes in or near the Puget Sound between 1964 and 1976. During this time, these highly intelligent members of the dolphin family lost nearly one-third of their population. Drawing on original archive material, this important volume outlines the history of orca captivity while also recounting the harrowing struggle—and ultimate triumph—for the Puget Sound orcas’ freedom. “Making liberal use of interviews, correspondence and newspaper accounts, as well as less intensive use of legislative, governmental, and nonprofit records, Pollard constructs an easily digestible narrative for lay individuals curious about the hunting of Puget Sound’s Northern and Southern Resident killer whale groups between 1965 and 1976. Puget Sound Whales for Sale significantly succeeds the former (Blackfish) in breadth and depth.” —Pacific Northwest Quarterly

Book Synopsis The Killer Whale Who Changed the World by : Mark Leiren-Young
Download or read book The Killer Whale Who Changed the World written by Mark Leiren-Young and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating and heartbreaking account of the first publicly exhibited captive killer whale — a story that forever changed the way we see orcas and sparked the movement to save them. Killer whales had always been seen as bloodthirsty sea monsters. That all changed when a young killer whale was captured off the west coast of North America and displayed to the public in 1964. Moby Doll — as the whale became known — was an instant celebrity, drawing 20,000 visitors on the one and only day he was exhibited. He died within a few months, but his famous gentleness sparked a worldwide crusade that transformed how people understood and appreciated orcas. Because of Moby Doll, we stopped fearing “killers” and grew to love and respect “orcas.” Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute

Book Synopsis Primates and Cetaceans by : Juichi Yamagiwa
Download or read book Primates and Cetaceans written by Juichi Yamagiwa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the editors present a view of the socioecology of primates and cetaceans in a comparative perspective to elucidate the social evolution of highly intellectual mammals in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Despite obvious differences in morphology and eco-physiology, there are many cases of comparable, sometimes strikingly similar patterns of sociobehavioral complexity. A number of long-term field studies have accumulated a substantial amount of data on the life history of various taxa, foraging ecology, social and sexual relationships, demography, and various patterns of behavior: from dynamic fission–fusion to long-term stable societies; from male-bonded to bisexually bonded to matrilineal groups. Primatologists and cetologists have come together to provide four evolutionary themes: (1) social complexity and behavioral plasticity, (2) life history strategies and social evolution, (3) the interface between behavior, demography, and conservation, and (4) selected topics in comparative behavior. These comparisons of taxa that are evolutionarily distant but live in comparable complex sociocognitive environments boost our appreciation of their sophisticated mammalian societies and can advance our understanding of the ecological factors that have shaped their social evolution. This knowledge also facilitates a better understanding of the day-to-day challenges these animals face in the human-dominated world and may improve the capacity and effectiveness of our conservation efforts.

Download or read book Gone Whaling written by Douglas Hand and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the darkened halls of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, Douglas Hand encountered a killer whale with the head of a man emerging from the blowhole. This puzzling and haunting specter was carved on a worn cedar totem pole of the Haida, Native Americans of the Northwest coast. What indigenous wisdom inspired orca and human to be wrought together in wood? Indeed, where does one species begin and the other end? Gone Whaling is the exquisitely rendered account of a journey to the waters of the Pacific Northwest to find answers to those questions as well as to track down the essence of orca, that wildest of animals. The quest takes the author first to the Vancouver Aquarium, where he encounters orcas in tanks and scientists who blur the lines between research and showmanship. Moving out to the San Juan Islands, he locates Ken Balcolm, marine biologist and orca census-taker, who deciphers the familial dynamics of the whales by tracking their far migrations. From there, he is led to the controversial researcher Paul Spong - known as the "patron saint of the whales" - who is mapping the clicks and squeaks the orcas make as they travel by his home on remote Hansen Island. But science can go only so far in providing a real understanding of the mystery of these creatures of the sea, so Douglas Hand turns to the last remaining Haida totem carvers to explain what orca means. In the end, he is inspired to take on the dangerous waters himself in a one-man kayak to encounter his own orca. Gone Whaling is rich with natural history and human stories. The mysterious and deeply complex behavior of orcas is described with crystalline detail and style. The inquiry itself is infusedwith the author's boundless curiosity and tempered with his wry humor. This luminous and confident book appeals to the part of us all that has pondered the deep rift between humans and other creatures, between the modern and the primitive. There is an old Haida belief that a good life is rewarded by death and rebirth as an orca. Therefore, you should treat the orca well that swims close to shore, for it may be your ancestor. This special book probes the boundary that separates and binds humans to killer whales, and humans to the natural order.
