Moby-Dick / by Melville, Herman,1819-1891,author.(CARDINAL)138287; Blum, Hester,editor,writer of introduction.;
Includes bibliographical references."It will be a strange sort of a book, tho', I fear blubber is blubber you know tho' you may get oil out of it, the poetry runs as hard as sap from a frozen maple tree-- to cook the thing up, one must needs throw in a little fancy.... Yet I mean to give the truth of the thing, spite of this. " Moby-Dick has a monumental reputation. Less well known are the novel's unexpectedly weird, funny, tantalizing, messy, and wondrous moments. Narrator Ishmael, along with the whaleship Pequod's other "meanest mariners, and renegades and castaways", is beguiled into joining Captain Ahab in his vengeful pursuit of the white whale that "dismasted" him. But along the way, Ishmael takes the reader along many a detour into variegated ways of knowing. In a tone "strangely compounded of fun and fury", Moby-Dick brings outlandish curiosity to bear on the multitudinous, oceanic scale of our diverse world.

The whiteness of the whale [large print] by Poyer, David,author.(CARDINAL)171426;
After a tragic accident maims her laboratory assistant, Dr. Sara Pollard's career as a primate behaviorist lies in ruins. With nothing left to lose, Pollard, descendant of a Nantucket captain whose ship was sunk by a rogue whale, accepts an offer to join anti-whaling activists on a round the world racing yacht as the resident scientist. The plan is to sail from Argentina to the stormy Antarctic Sea. There they'll shadow, harass, and expose the Japanese fleet, which continues to kill and process endangered whales in internationally declared sanctuaries. But everyone aboard Black Anemone has a secret, or something to live down. Her crew, including a beautiful but narcissistic film celebrity, an Afghan War veteran in search of the buzz of combat, and an enigmatic, obsessive captain, will confront hostile whalers, brutal weather, dangerous ice, near mutiny, and romantic conflict. But no one aboard is prepared for what Nature herself has in store when they're targeted by a massive creature with a murderous agenda of its own.

After a tragic accident maims her laboratory assistant, Dr. Sara Pollard’s career as a primate behaviorist lies in ruins.

But no one aboard is prepared for what Nature herself has in store . . . when they're targeted by a massive creature with a murderous agenda of its own.
