In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores an extraordinary species and its occasionally fraught relationship with human beings. Beginning with their role in myth and contemporary popular culture, Neiwert shows how killer whales came to capture our imaginations, and brings to life the often catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal.   In the tradition of Barry Lopez s classic Of Wolves and Men, David Neiwert s book is a triumph of reporting, observation, and research, and a powerful tribute to one of the animal kingdom s most remarkable members.
