"Detailed, edifying, and amazing." -Philip Hoare, author of The Whale and The Sea Inside "Leiren-Young's mesmerizing story of Moby Doll chronicles a key turning point in our understanding of orcas on Canada's west coast and details how we now see this species as the highly intelligent and evolved species that it is.

Similar to the award-winning Blackfish, this book could be a game changer." -Marc Bekoff, author of Rewilding Our Hearts "The story of Moby Doll is one of those turning point tales that shows how far we've come in our relationship with animals and the sea. Bravo to Mark Leiren-Young." -Erich Hoyt, author of Orca: The Whale Called Killer "An utterly fascinating read--full of revealing detail, rich with insight, and in the end, a profoundly moving work that illuminates the history of the fast-evolving changes in our relationship with one of the planet's most intelligent and intriguing creatures." -David Neiwert, author of Of Orcas and Men, "(Leiren-Young) skillfully weaves whaling history and information about the growth of scientific knowledge of the whale life cycle and social behavior into this account ...This well-written book will appeal to general readers interested in the topic" - Library Journal "Detailed, edifying, and amazing." --Philip Hoare, author of The Whale and The Sea Inside "Leiren-Young's mesmerizing story of Moby Doll chronicles a key turning point in our understanding of orcas on Canada's west coast and details how we now see this species as the highly intelligent and evolved species that it is.

Synopsis
The fascinating and heartbreaking account of the first publicly exhibited captive killer whale -- a story that forever changed the way we see orcas and sparked the movement to save them Killer whales had always been seen as bloodthirsty sea monsters. That all changed when a young killer whale was captured off the west coast of North America and displayed to the public in 1964. Moby Doll -- as the whale became known -- was an instant celebrity, drawing 20,000 visitors on the one and only day he was exhibited. He died within a few months, but his famous gentleness sparked a worldwide crusade that transformed how people understood and appreciated orcas. Because of Moby Doll, we stopped fearing "killers" and grew to love and respect "orcas.", The fascinating and heartbreaking account of the first publicly exhibited captive killer whale -- a story that forever changed the way we see orcas and sparked the movement to save them.
