How to Speak Whale Synopsis

'Fascinating' Greta Thunberg

'Extraordinary' Merlin Sheldrake

'A must-read' New Scientist

'Enthralling' George Monbiot

'Brilliant' Philip Hoare

Wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill had always liked whales. But when one breached onto his kayak, nearly killing him, he became obsessed.

This book traces his extraordinary investigation into the deep ocean and the cutting-edge science of animal translation.

What would it take to speak with a whale? Are we ready for what they might say?
