Whale Song is just the music of the earth we need now. Margret Grebowicz is listening to our Terran cousins in the rising storm. Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California at Santa Cruz, USA, and author of Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene

Writing with the clarity and precision of a dolphin's clicks, Grebowicz covers the history of the sometimes-futile attempts by humans to communicate with whales, dolphins, and other ocean dwellers. Humans could learn much from the dispassionate language of these creatures, whose sonar and other forms of long-range sonic communication is, by necessity, without deceit. Alvin Lucier, composer Whale Song is just the music of the earth we need now. Margret Grebowicz is listening to our Terran cousins in the rising storm.
