SUMMARY:Rebecca Giggs and Robert Moor In conversations about Fathoms: The World in the Whale
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Giggs is joined in conversation by Robert Moor\, bestselling author of On Trails\, in this virtual event for her debut book\, Fathoms: The World in the Whale (Simon & Schuster). \nRegistration for this virtual event will open soon. Check back or subscribe to our newsletter for information. \nAbout Fathoms\nWhen writer Rebecca Giggs encountered a humpback whale stranded on her local beachfront in Australia\, she began to wonder how the lives of whales reflect the condition of our oceans. Fathoms: The World in the Whale blends natural history\, philosophy\, and science to explore: How do whales experience ecological change? How has whale culture been both understood and changed by human technology? What can observing whales teach us about the complexity\, splendour\, and fragility of life? In Fathoms\, we learn about whales so rare they have never been named\, whale songs that sweep across hemispheres in annual waves of popularity\, and whales that have modified the chemical composition of our planet’s atmosphere. We travel to Japan to board the ships that hunt whales and delve into the deepest seas to discover how plastic pollution pervades our earth’s undersea environment. \nIn the spirit of Rachel Carson and Rebecca Solnit\, Giggs gives us a vivid exploration of the natural world even as she addresses what it means to write about nature at a time of environmental crisis. With depth and clarity\, Giggs outlines the challenges we face as we attempt to understand the perspectives of other living beings\, and our own place on an evolving planet. Evocative and inspiring\, Fathoms marks the arrival of an essential new voice. \nAbout Rebecca Giggs and Robert Moor\nRebecca Giggs is an award-winning writer from Perth\, Australia. Her work has appeared in Granta\, The Atlantic\, The New York Times Magazine\, Best Australian Essays\, Best Australian Science Writing\, and other publications.
