Unveiling the Whale: Discourses on Whales and Whaling
ISBN: 9781845455811 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whaling has become one of the most controversial environmental issues.

This book, the first of its kind, is therefore not about whales and whaling per se but about how people communicate about whales and whaling. It contributes to a better understanding and discussion of controversial environmental issues: Why and how are issues selected? How is knowledge on these issues...
