Humpback Whales of the South West Pacific by Glenn Edney

The South West Pacific is a vast expanse of ocean with a scattering of tiny islands surrounded by tropical reefs. Long before humans ventured to this remote region humpback whales were migrating from their Antarctic feeding grounds to these warm, sheltered waters to mate and give birth to their young.

Humpback Whales of the South Pacific provides an overview of their natural history as well as aspects of the behaviour and social interactions. It outlines the impact that humans have had on the whales, both historically and present day. In the final section the author also explores how connecting with these magnificent beings can help us examine our own behaviour and perhaps improve our relationship with the natural world.
