What do we know about whales, their evolutionary path, their size, where and how they live, how they hunt, give birth to calves; what difficulties do they overcome or what dangers do they face in the ocean? These and other questions are answered by renowned whale expert Nick Pyenson in his book Peeping Whales.

As a true whale fan, the author took part in scientific expeditions and studied fossils found in different parts of the world: From the Chilean Atacama Desert, where the world's largest whale remains burial site, Cerro Ballena, was discovered, to whaling stations in Iceland, from the northern to the southern seas. That's why he is so fascinating about what ancient whales looked like, how they returned to an aquatic lifestyle after living on land millions of years ago, and how impressive the size of their bodies are.

And yet, they communicate with each other in languages incomprehensible to mankind. They, like us, create culture. And all this - where whales came from, how they live today, what will happen to them in the new era - we will find in this elegant volume.
