Энэ электрон номын тухай
""Whale Industry"" presents a comprehensive exploration of humanity's complex relationship with whales, tracing the evolution of commercial whaling from its aggressive exploitation in the 17th century to today's conservation-focused approach.
The book masterfully weaves together three interconnected narratives: the technological advancement of whaling practices, groundbreaking scientific discoveries about whale biology, and the emergence of global conservation movements that revolutionized our understanding of these magnificent marine mammals.
Through meticulous research drawing from maritime records, declassified Soviet documents, and scientific journals, the book reveals stunning statistics, including the harvest of over two million whales between 1900 and 1970. The narrative tracks how whaling evolved from simple hand-held harpoons to industrial-scale operations with factory ships, while simultaneously documenting how scientific discoveries about whale intelligence, communication, and social structures gradually transformed public perception of these creatures from mere resources to essential components of marine ecosystems.
What sets this work apart is its balanced analytical approach, avoiding simple condemnation of historical whaling practices in favor of examining the complex interplay between economic demands, scientific advancement, and environmental awareness. The book progresses chronologically while exploring parallel developments in technology, science, and conservation, culminating in a discussion of modern marine protection efforts and sustainable resource management.
This multifaceted approach makes it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in environmental history, marine conservation, or the evolution of human relationships with marine mammals.
