Of Humans And Cetaceans

Credit Philip Hoare

The relationship between humans and cetaceans has long been something of a paradox. We are drawn to their mystery and intelligence, in awe of their size and grace, yet we hunted many whales to near extinction, and use dolphins for military maneuvers and entertainment. Philip Hoare has been exploring the human interaction with cetaceans for the better part of his life. He’s the author of several books including “Leviathan or, The Whale” and, most recently, of “The Sea Inside.” He’s also curator of Cape Whale a week long exhibit at the SEA Space Gallery at theCenter for Coastal Studies in Provincetown and co-curator of the Moby-Dick Big Read. He joins Mindy Todd in The Point studio.
