"Creation by God is perhaps the most fundamental message of the Bible. Human beings have always been faced with the question of why anything exists at all. This theme of creation is found not only in the early chapters of Genesis, but runs throughout the Bible." "David Wilkinson captures something of the rich tapestry of creation as disclosed in the pages of Scripture. With the eyes of a theologian and a cosmologist he looks at the message of creation in representative biblical passages. He brings the texts into lively conversation with contemporary concerns. In particular, he explores the beginning, the songs, the fulfilment, the lessons and the Lord of creation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The short-finned pilot whale, a notable species in the western North Atlantic, exhibits distinct characteristics such as a thick, bulbous head and shorter flippers, reaching lengths of up to 17.5 feet for males. These whales are predominantly black with gray markings, and they typically travel in groups of 60 or more, showcasing behaviors like pitchpoling and lobtailing. Their diet mainly consists of squid and fish. Confusion may arise with pygmy killer whales and many-toothed blackfish, but they can be differentiated by specific physical traits.
