One of Earth's most intelligent animals is the orca, also known as the killer whale. With remarkably sophisticated capabilities, these creatures have languages, cultures, and long-term memories. Their echolocation abilities are akin to a sixth sense. Despite their benign and gentle nature, the captive-orca industry and the endangerment of their population in Puget Sound are deeply troubling.
In "Of Orcas and Men," David Neiwert presents a captivating blend of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research to explore the complex relationship between humans and these extraordinary creatures. Starting with their prominence in myth and contemporary culture, Neiwert delves into how killer whales have captured our imaginations and the devastating environmental repercussions of our fascination.
Similar to Barry Lopez's renowned work "Of Wolves and Men," Neiwert's book is a masterful combination of reporting, observation, and research. It serves as a poignant homage to one of the most extraordinary members of the animal kingdom.
