What if animals and humans could speak to one another? Tom Mustill—the nature documentarian who went viral when a thirty-ton humpback whale breached onto his kayak—asks this question in his thrilling investigation into whale science and animal communication."When a whale is in the water, it is like an iceberg: you only see a fraction of it and have no conception of its size." There is a revolution taking place in biology, as the technologies we've developed to explore our own languages are turned to nature. From seventeenth century Dutch inventors, to the whaling industry of the nineteenth century, to the cutting edge of Silicon Valley, How to Speak Whale looks at how scientists and start-ups around the world are decoding animal languages. Whales, with their giant mammalian brains, offer one of the most realistic opportunities for this to happen.
