Rebecca Giggs writes about science with the lyricism of a poet. She is gifted with the capacity to describe the terror of impending environmental disaster in ways that will break your heart.
Fathoms: The World in the Whale is not just a book about whales and the oceans, it is a book about humanity and our capacity to hurt even the things we claim to love.
