"The Whales Companion is an anthology of writings and images from ancient times to the modern day, which captures the idea of the whale in the human imagination. The whale as revealed in legend, art and literature is presented in this beautiful collection. Ranging through time and across cultures, The Whales Companion explores the complexity of humankind's relationship with this majestic, mysterious, and sometimes fearsome, mammal."--Global Books in Print.
