ALL ABOUT WHALES

Leviathan told""- by this authority who knows his facts and how to present them interestingly. The humpback, the sulphurbottom (a whopping 110 feet), the finback, the killer- these are a sampling of the varieties Roy Chapman Andrews talks about in fascinating detail as to habit, and habitat, evolution and physical characteristics. Meanwhile, he has interspersed his data with many a whaling experience personal and historical- that bring these fabulous mammals into romantic perspective and will spur definite interest in more study or a book like Robertson's Of Whales and Men.
