semeyers's review against another edition

Make no mistake, it is also a depressing account of the brutality of whaling. The populations of many species of whales that were targeted by whaling boats have still not recovered, even 100 years after the industry was abolished in the U.S. It is a theory among scientists that sperm whales overall used to be even bigger, but the larger individuals were so thoroughly eliminated by whaling that the species as a whole got smaller. There are graphic descriptions of the process of killing and butchering the whales that had me putting down the book at times. This book is very pro-people, but I was rooting for the whales when the time came!
Highly recommend this one if you are looking for some historical non-fiction!
