{"product_id":"9781956907018","title":"Whale Road - 9781956907018","description":"In 1992, ten years after whaling was banned (in the South Pacific), a scientific expedition set off from Tahiti to New Zealand, following the 'whale road.' Deborah McCutchen joined the crew as a nanny for the two children of the captain and his wife. The Whale Road is a montage of snapshots layered in a colorful album of words. There are diary excerpts and ship's log entries; there is myth, story, and fascinating facts about whales. McCutchen strikes a fine balance between lyricism and musing on the one hand and action and anecdote on the other. The natural world is illuminated with a sense of magic and awe in a style akin to Annie Dillard's. Without being preachy, this book is a plea for the conservation of whales and other creatures and a lament for human interference in nature. -The New Zealand Herald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eD.
