A story of courage and resilience, Soundings is about the migrating whales and all we can learn from them as they mother, adapt, and endure, their lives interrupted and threatened by global warming. It is also a riveting journey onto the Arctic Sea ice and into the changing world of Indigenous whale hunters, where Doreen becomes immersed in the ancient values of the Iñupiaq whale hunt and falls in love. Big-hearted, brave, and fearlessly honest, Soundings is an unforgettable journey.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390827823149,"sku":"WHS-8337f580902f434f9076603519546d7d","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_92460bf0-d871-4e05-9bb5-037ff2c87807.jpg?v=1787347866","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/soundings-journeying-to-alaska-in-the-company-of-whales-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
