Whales
Author: Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Yves Paccalet
Hardcover with dust jacket, in very good condition.
Whales by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Yves Paccalet is a richly illustrated natural-history study of whales, combining scientific information with history, culture and conservation. The authors examine whale evolution, anatomy, feeding, migration, social behaviour, communication and reproduction, while also exploring humanity’s long fascination with these enormous marine mammals through mythology, art and literature. A substantial section addresses the history and destructive consequences of commercial whaling and makes a strong case for whale protection. First published in English by Harry N. Abrams in 1988, the 280-page volume contains numerous colour photographs, drawings and paintings, making it both an informative reference work and an attractive coffee-table book.
