About This Item
San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, 1982. First Edition. Cloth-backed Boards. Fine/Fine. 144pp. Illustrated dust jacket. Produced at the Yolla Bolly Press, Covelo, California. Cloth-backed boards. 6 1/2" x 8 1/4". Anthropologist Joan McIntrye is the former president of Project Jonah and the author of "Mind in the Waters". Contrary to what the title suggests, this book is not about the technicalities of whale-watching. Instead, it is largely about the healing powers of the ocean. From the jacket flap: "This remarkable book is the log of a voyage of self-discovery, in the tradition of Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Loren Eisley, and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Inspirational in the best and truest sense, it will speak eloquently to many people." A departure for the Yolla Bolly Press, which specializes in fine press limited editions. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING of our books in boxes via media mail to any United States address.
