'Gone Whaling' is a quest. After seeing a sensual, weathered cedar carving of an orca intertwined with a human being, the author sets off for the Pacific Northwest, travelling from aquariums to the wind blown straits of the Queen Charlotte Islands. He encounters scientists and mystics, and from each perspective gleans insight into the essence of the orca and our relationship to the natural world. 223pp. 1996 edition
