Whales: Touching the Mystery, By Doug Thompson Book and DVD Ever since his first contact with a gray whale while surfing as a teenager in Southern California, Doug Thompson has had a passion for whales. For more than thirty years he has traveled the world as a whale naturalist, guide, and activist. In this package set of book (160 pages) and companion DVD (about 30 minutes in length), Thompson shares the unprecedented interaction between humans and the Gray whales of Baja's San Ignacio Lagoon. This is what Thompson calls "Touching the Mystery." His book includes stories of whales he has met and the thrilling mystery of interacting with these gentle giants. Thompson also writes about the hidden lives of whales, their mysterious migrations, and the modern threats they face in the world's waters. He chronicles the efforts of human champions who helped end whale hunting and initiate whale watching in the United States. For the future of whale and human, Thompson offers solutions for a healthy economy based on whale watching rather than whale killing. Thompson weaves a fascinating story of personal accounts, his own and others, along with factual information on the world of whales. The DVD of whales and humans sharing friendship will shift your perceptions forever about what we might learn from other animals. Quantity :  CAD $ 26.95  Click here to ask a question about this item
