Japan today defends its controversial whaling expeditions by invoking tradition—but what was the historical reality? In examining the techniques and impacts of whaling during the Tokugawa period (1603–1868), Jakobina Arch shows that the organized, shore-based whaling that first developed during these years bore little resemblance to modern Japanese whaling. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from whaling ledgers to recipe books and gravestones for fetal whales, she traces how the images of whales and by-products of commercial whaling were woven into the lives of people throughout Japan. Economically, Pacific Ocean resources were central in supporting the expanding Tokugawa state. In this vivid and nuanced study of how the Japanese people brought whales ashore during the Tokugawa period, Arch makes important contributions to both environmental and Japanese history by connecting Japanese whaling to marine environmental history in the Pacific, including the devastating impact of American whaling in the nineteenth century.

One hundred years ago, a beached whale would have been greeted by a mob wielding flensing knives; today, people bring harnesses and boats to help it return to the sea. The whale is one of the most awe-inspiring and intelligent animals in nature, sharing a complex relationship with humans that has radically evolved over the centuries. Joe Roman offers in Whale a fascinating and in-depth look at the cultural and natural history of these majestic aquatic mammals. From the Biblical prophet Jonah to Moby-Dick to recent discoveries of cetacean songs and culture, Roman examines the whale's role in history, art, literature, commerce, and science. Whale features vibrant illustrations, ranging from Stone Age carvings to full-color underwater photographs, which vividly bring to life the rich symbolic meanings surrounding the whale. Roman also examines the ecological and evolutionary history of the whale as well as contemporary issues of conservation. Whale is an engaging volume that will appeal to all those interested in the important role that these kings of the ocean have played in human culture.

The modern whaling industry dates from 1881. That year factory ships began working with purpose-built whale catchers equipped with modern harpoon guns. This revolution, together with the increasing demand for whale products, created a boom in whaling. By 1914 there were more than 35 whale factory ships working world-wide. This new book chronicles in depth the development of factory ship whaling, and provides full technical and career details and where possible illustrations of every factory ship to have operated anywhere in the world. The first section tells the story of how factory ship whaling becoming a major global industry. Thanks to technical innovations and entrepreneurship, with a willingness to pursue whales in even the most inhospitable regions, the industry made fortunes for some. However, the late twentieth century saw the demise of the industry, following a catastrophic decline in whale populations due to over-fishing, which had seen a total of three million whales taken. Today there is but one working factory ship, working under the guise of research in the North Pacific. A second section provides full histories of 184 factory ships which are known to have worked in the trade, including both conversions and purpose-built vessels. Appendices also cover supply ships and whale catchers.Flags and funnels in full colour on end papers.
