How to Speak Whale: A Voyage into the Future of Animal Communication 

byTom Mustill

Tom Mustill—the nature documentarian who went viral when a thirty‑ton humpback whale breached onto his kayak—asks this question in his thrilling investigation into whale science and animal communication. Drawing on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, the narrative gives How to Speak Whale a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the voyage into the future of animal communication becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within nature and science. How to Speak Whale emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
