| Summary | Annotation Playful and inquisitive, seals have long been interested in humans - and humans have reciprocated that interest, falling for their beauty, grace, and charm as they frolic alongside our boats or loll on sandy shores. Victoria Dickenson traces the history of our interaction with these beautiful, fascinating swimmers, from the centuries of hunting - in which people killed countless seals for their skin, oil, and meat - to the present, when the white-furred baby seal has become one of the most potent symbols of the need for ecological conservation. Along the way, she offers an approachable account of seal biology and behaviour, and she delineates the threats they face from habitat destruction and climate change. |
