review 2: Bill started reading the book about the cooperative effort to save three gray whales trapped in the ice up north. Half way through the first chapter the book said the native hunters didn't need to h... moreunt whales and there weren't any digital cameras and it was difficult to take pictures in the super cold using 35 mm film rolls. Skipped around through the book and it seemed to me a lot of ink was used to just fill pages. Subject matter was great, but presentation did not carry the story, sorry. Book went to the recycle pile. less
