About this title: In a book with far-reaching scope, Dick Russell talks about the gray whale, or devil-fish, made famous by the whaling captain Charles Scammon. Charting his own track of the grays from Baja to the coast of Siberia, Russell discusses their reemergence from the endangered species list, their fragile habitat, and their behavioral cycles.
