How do whales experience environmental change? Has our connection to these fabled animals been transformed by technology? What future awaits us, and them? And what does it mean to write about nature in the midst of an ecological crisis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In&nbsp;<em>Fathoms: the world in the whale<\/em>, Giggs blends natural history, philosophy, and science to explore these questions with clarity and hope. In lively, inventive prose, she introduces us to whales so rare they have never been named; she tells us of the astonishing variety found in whale sounds, and of whale \u2018pop\u2019 songs that sweep across hemispheres. She takes us into the deeps to discover that one whale\u2019s death can spark a great flourishing of creatures. We travel to Japan to board whaling ships, examine the uncanny charisma of these magnificent mammals, and confront the plastic pollution now pervading their underwater environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian writer Rebecca Giggs discussed her book\u00a0Fathoms: The World in the Whale\u00a0(Scribe, 2020) on Monday, 23 November 2020, in the Greenhouse environmental humanities book talk [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2020-11-23-Giggs.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2020-11-23-Giggs_pod.jpg","cover_image_id":"2081","duration":"54:05","filesize":"38.83M","filesize_raw":"40713201","date_recorded":"2020-11-23","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-2079","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2020-11-23-Giggs_pod.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/2079\/rebecca-giggs-fathoms","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2079\/rebecca-giggs-fathoms","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2079\/rebecca-giggs-fathoms\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2079\/rebecca-giggs-fathoms<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"0IxcFi6SF9\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/rebecca-giggs-fathoms\/\">Rebecca Giggs &#8211; Fathoms<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/rebecca-giggs-fathoms\/embed\/#?secret=0IxcFi6SF9\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Rebecca Giggs &#8211; Fathoms&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"0IxcFi6SF9\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
