This provocative book of photography offers bold new insight into the lives of the world's largest mammals, along with their complex societies.

In these pages, we learn that whales share an amazing ability to learn and adapt to opportunities, from specialized feeding strategies to parenting techniques. There is also evidence of deeper, cultural elements of whale identity, from unique dialects to matrilineal societies to organized social customs like singing contests. Featuring the arresting underwater images of Brian Skerry, who has explored and documented oceans for over four decades, this book will document these alluring creatures in all their glory and demonstrate how these majestic creatures can teach us about ourselves and our planet.
