save the whales - Still trying to - Books - Brief Article

Despite common misconceptions, commercial whaling is still alive and well under the guise of "scientific research." Kieran Mulvaney lends a personal touch to the struggle by Green-peace and others against this ruse. The Whaling Season (Island Press, $26) provides dramatic and engaging accounts of Mulvaney's four expeditions chasing whaling ships in the Antarctic and the twists of his life that delivered him there.

An article in BBC Wildlife, too many Jagermeisters and a romantic breakup helped propel this writer and activist into a David vs. Goliath, non-violent protest through icy waters to protect these intelligent and valued creatures.
