Recenzii
'Holm provides a thoroughly researched, engaging, and welcome new perspective on northeastern Japan's relationships with whales, from respect and not hunting them in the Tokugawa period (when whaling was practiced in western Japan) through the human and ecosystem-level changes that transformed the region into a base for modern industrial whaling.' Jakobina Arch, Whitman College
'Gods of the Sea is a masterful and eloquent account of Japan's neglected northeast and that region's fascinating historical relationship with whales. Holm goes beyond standard whaling histories to engage creatively and movingly with the larger oceanic ecosystems and human cultures that give this whale story deep meaning and wide resonance.' Ryan Tucker Jones, University of Oregon

Descriere
Challenging portrayals of Japan as a whaling nation, Holm shows that anti-whaling protests were widespread in early modern Northeast Japan.
