"This singular, magnificent book inspires both awe and shame-awe of the whales, shame of the human species that has tried to destroy them. In the end, Hoare's virtuosic sympathy for his subject makes you believe in the better angels of our nature." -- Alex Ross, bestselling author of THE REST IS NOISE
