WHALES: New book on North Atlantic right whales

Disappearing Giants: The North Atlantic Right Whale



Scott Kraus, Marilyn Marx, Heather Pettis, Amy Knowlton, Ken Mallory

Publisher: Fitzhenry and Whiteside, Markham, ON

Paperback/140 pages

Disappearing Giants tells the story of one of the most endangered large whales in the oceans today, from the whaling history for which it is named, to the most up-to-date research efforts and population status. Illustrated throughout with beautiful photos, it describes how individual right whales are identified, how they feed, migrate, and face the challenges of life in the industrialized North Atlantic Ocean.  The authors, long-time right whale researchers from the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at New England Aquarium in Boston, hope this book will bring awareness to this wondrous but threatened whale species and the tremendous efforts being  taken to help North Atlantic right whales  avoid extinction and thrive far into the future.
