Fathoms: The World in the Whale

byRebecca Giggs

Fathoms is Rebecca Giggs's science narrative of the World in the Whale. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of nature and philosophy. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Fathoms leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
