It is with joy and pride that I now announce the release of the English edition of my book "Giants of the Azores: Stories and Images of Whales and Whalers", 🐋 available on Amazon.
Paperback and kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5W5F4LQ/
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this work.
For millennia, sperm whales have peacefully traversed the oceans before their fateful encounter with humanity. We, arguably the most dangerous species on the planet, have brought them to the brink of extinction. These tranquil and majestic animals have been hunted in the Azores for more than a century. Now, a sudden and exceptionally rapid transformation has occurred: sperm whales have transformed from sacrificial victims into the rising star of eco-tourism. With 77 color images and illustrations, this book traces the history of the Giants of the Sea and the men who hunted them and - in some cases - still hunt them today. Historical accounts are interwoven with personal anecdotes directly gathered by the author in his encounters with whales and whalers - both of yesterday and today.
A fantastic discovery journey into the world of these extraordinary creatures!
