To date (1969) very little is known about the leviathan of the deep - an animal which man has ruthlessly hunted to virtual extinction. In The Year of the Whale (winner of the John Burroughs Medal), Victor Scheffer brilliantly combines scientific documentation with imaginative reconstruction to present a detailed and absorbing account pf the first year in the life of a sperm whale. This is a reliable and informative introduction to the study of the whale which provides fascinating insights into the habits of the grandest of all animals.
