Into Great Silence: A Memoir of Discovery and Loss Among Vanishing Orcas
Eva Saulitis
Science entwines with the human heart as a whale researcher chronicles the lives of a family of orcas—survivors of the Exxon Valdez oil spill—that she has come to know and treasure throughout the decades she has spent with them. Both an elegy for a small group of orcas and a celebration of the entire species, Into a Great Silence is a moving portrait of the interconnectedness of
humans and marine mammals—and of the responsibility we have to protect them.
