This book explores the life processes, reproduction, and growth of large cetacean populations. Organized into four parts encompassing 25 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the gray whale evolution, fossils, and subfossil remains, range, and systematics in historical times. This text then presents the historical of gray whale exploitation and the economic importance of these whales to humans. Other chapters consider the gray whale migration, abundance, and seasonal distribution in the wake of the California population's recovery from depletion. This book discusses as well the methods used in shore-based censuses during migration and in aerial surveys of gray whales taken on their winter grounds. The final chapter deals with some innovative approaches to the study of free-ranging cetaceans. This book is a valuable resource for anthropologists, paleontologists, biologists, and naturalists.

Download or read book The mediated Arctic written by Johannes Riquet and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mediated Arctic analyses the multiple relations between geography and cultural production that have long shaped – and are currently transforming – the circumpolar world. It explores how twenty-first-century cultural practitioners imagine and poeticise various elements of Arctic geography, and in doing so negotiate pressing environmental, (geo)political, and social concerns. From the plasmatic force of ice in Disney’s Frozen films to the spatial vocabulary of circumpolar Indigenous hip hop, it addresses Arctic geographical imaginaries in a wide range of media, including literature, cinema, comic books, music videos, and cartographic art. The book brings together a plurality of voices from within and outside the circumpolar North, both in terms of the works analysed and in its own collaborative scholarly practice. The book bridges Indigenous and Southern mediations of the Arctic and combines different epistemologies to do justice to these imaginaries in their diversity.

Download or read book Introduction to South Georgia written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Georgia is a remote, sub-Antarctic island located around 1400km southeast of the Falkland Islands. The island is a British Overseas Territory and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including seals, penguins, and albatrosses. Its history is closely linked to the whaling industry, and there are still remnants of the industry visible on the island, including old whaling stations and equipment. Today, South Georgia is a popular destination for tourists interested in wildlife and adventure, offering opportunities for hiking, camping, and kayaking. Despite its remote location, South Georgia has played a significant role in global history. The island was first discovered in 1675 by the English explorer Anthony de la Roché, and it became a popular stop for whalers in the early 19th century. During World War I, South Georgia was a critical link in the British supply chain, as it was used as a base for the Royal Navy's Southern Ocean fleet. Later, in 1982, the island played a role in the Falklands War, as British forces used it as a staging point for their invasion of the Falkland Islands. Overall, South Georgia is a unique and fascinating place with a rich cultural and ecological history.
