Author: Rothenberg, David

The author of Why Birds Sing returns with a fascinating exploration of an alien intelligence, not in outer space but right here on Earth. Thoughtful, richly detailed, and deeply entertaining, this book plumbs the enigma of whales and their profoundly mysterious music. After observing the whales first-hand and talking with leading researchers from around the globe, Rothenberg crossed the species barrier, playing his clarinet with whales in their native habitats in Russia, Canada and Hawaii.
