Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. WINNER OF THE NIB LITERARY AWARDFINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE FOR NONFICTION AND THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION'There is a kind of hauntedness in wild animals today- a spectre related to environmental change . Our fear is that the unseen spirits that move in them are ours. Once more, animals are a moral force.'When Rebecca Giggs encountered a humpback whale stranded on her local beach in Australia, she began to wonder how the lives of whales might shed light on the condition of our seas. How do whales experience environmental change? Has our connection to these fabled animals been transformed by technology? What future awaits us, and them? And what does it mean to write about nature in the midst of an ecological crisis?In Fathoms- the world in the whale, Giggs blends natural history, philosophy, and science to explore these questions with clarity and hope. In lively, inventive prose, she introduces us to whales so rare they have never been named; she tells us of the astonishing variety found in whale sounds, and of whale 'pop' songs that sweep across hemispheres. She takes us into the deeps to discover that one whale's death can spark a great flourishing of creatures. We travel to Japan to board whaling ships, examine the uncanny charisma of these magnificent mammals, and confront the plastic pollution now pervading their underwater environment.In the spirit of Rachel Carson and John Berger, Fathoms is a work of profound insight and wonder that marks the arrival of an essential new voice in narrative nonfiction, and provides us with a powerful, surprising, and compelling view of some of the most urgent issues of our time.'The book is a masterpiece. I am astonished that it is Giggs's first, for it reads like the work of a far more experienced author . Giggs's exquisite prose is so striking as to be almost poetic, pulling the reader up constantly, either to savour a particularly apposite phrase, or to ponder a deep, unexpected connection. If a whale warrants a pause, then Fathoms warrants many.'-Tim Flannery, The Australian'Fathoms is perhaps the finest book written about whales since Moby Dick was published 170 years ago. It's also one of the best accounts I've ever read of the interaction, intended and unintended, between humans and other species - a work of genuinely literary imagination.'-Verlyn Klinkenborg, New York Review of Books' W idens the aperture of our attention with a literary style so stunning that the reader may forget to blink . In a story that extends across several continents, Ms. Giggs marshals lapidary language to give the crisis a compelling voice. Her prose, like the oceans in which her subjects roam, is immersive; her sentences submerge us in a sea of sensations . M ore descriptive than prescriptive concerning the plight of whales and, by implication, the health of the Earth. But as with George Orwell's Shooting an Elephant and E.B. White's Death of a Pig, Ms. Giggs, tending the final hours of a humpback on an Australian beach, reminds us that paying attention to the close of another creature's life can be its own form of moral instruction.'-Danny Heitman, The Wall Street Journal In the non-fiction tradition of Rachel Carson, Rebecca Solnit, and Helen Macdonald comes a bold, lyrical exploration of our fraught relationship with the seas most charismatic mammal, the whale.
