When an 80-ton Fin Whale became trapped in a Newfoundland lagoon, conservationist Farley Mowat rejoiced: here was the first chance to study at close range one of the most magnificent animals in creation. Some local villagers thought otherwise. They blasted the whale with rifle fire and hacked open her back with a motorboat propeller. Mowat appealed desperately to the police, to marine biologists, finally to the Canadian press. But it was too late. Ravaged by an infection resulting from her massive wounds, the whale died. World-renowned for his passionate tales of survival, Farley Mowat wrote his new book to symbolize the plight of all whales preyed on by man for commercial profit.

Farley Mowat And No Birds Sang (Farley Mowat Library)
Key Porter Books 2003 1552632466 / 9781552632468 Paperback New
"Brand New Paperback, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases() In July of 1942, Mowat was an eager, idealistic infantry lieutenant barely out of his teens, bound for Europe on a troop ship and impatient to see action. This powerful true account of the action he saw, and against all odds survived, evokes the terrible reality of warfare with an honesty and clarity fiction can only imitate. Here is the agony and the antic humour, the tragedy and the tedium, the special camaraderie shared only by those who have fought a war. Here, too, is the impassioned anger of one soldier who discovers he can no longer accept the bloody carnage that engulfed him near the end of the Italian campaign: ID: mon0000020296"

Farley Mowat No Man's River
Key Porter Books 2004 Paperback Like New
"'Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases, shelfwear and bumps on corners No Man's River is vintage Farley Mowat. Canada's greatest storyteller has crafted a tale of adventure peopled with characters that are destined to become part of the reader's consciousness. From the opening paragraph Mowat contrasts the innocence of his childhood--so familiar to his legions of fans--with the experience of his young adulthood on the battlefields of Europe. Mowat's desire to leave a world ''apparently created and run by maniacs'' leads him to join the Keewatin Zoological Expedition and travel to Windy Lake in the eastern subarctic. There he lives with a Metis and Inuit clan and with the zoologist leader of the expedition. Unfortunately, Mowat does not find the innocent world of his childhood memories, but rather a world in turmoil, where the delicate balance of life has been shattered by the arrival of bush pilots, traders, trappers, and missionaries. Windy Lake mark...'' ID: mon0000009427"

McClelland & Stewart 2008 0771064896 / 9780771064890 Hardcover New
"New Hardcover with dust jacket, clean, tight, unmarked, (Fine with Fine Dust Jacket), light edge wear to the dust jacket.() A Canadian icon gives us his final book, a memoir of the events that shaped this beloved writer and activist. Farley Mowat has been beguiling readers for fifty years now, creating a body of writing that has thrilled two generations, selling literally millions of copies in the process. In looking back over his accomplishments, we are reminded of his groundbreaking work: He single-handedly began the rehabilitation of the wolf with Never Cry Wolf. He was the first to bring advocacy activism on behalf of the Inuit and their northern lands with People of the Deer and The Desperate People. And his was the first populist voice raised in defense of the environment and of the creatures with whom we share our world, the ones he has always called The Others. Otherwise is a memoir of the years between 1937 and the autumn of 1948 that tells the story of the events that fo ID: mon0000052175"
