DOWNLOAD EBOOKControversial, attention-seeking, forthright and driven ... all these words have been used to describe Pete Bethune. What can't be denied, though, is that he's a man who is prepared to fight - quite literally - for his principles; principles which relate not just to the saving of the great whales of the Southern Ocean, but to the planet as a whole.

Ground-breaking. Original. Heart-rending. Most talked about book in New Zealand, ever. Adapted into a blockbuster movie. Still in print three decades later.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEleven-year-old Isabel is a “plain old” girl living in Provincetown, Massachusetts, who believes that she is destined to accomplish something special. When her fifth-grade class goes on a whale-watch field trip, something amazing happens: Dozens of different species of whales surround the boat, bumping the deck and sending Isabel flying into the ocean. Isabel is shocked to hear the whales speaking to her—she is a mermaid, they tell her, a “Chosen One” who has the ability to turn from a human into a whale and back again. She is destined to live among the whales long enough to learn their ways, and teach them about the human world. Living among her pod is fun, at first, but Isabel has an important mission. She will change the whales’ future forever, and learn a lot about herself in the process.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Whale Warriors recounts the heart-thumping epic journey of the eco-pirate ship Farley Mowat as it stalked the Japanese whaling fleet off the stormy shores of Antarctica. The Farley is the flagship of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, founded by the radical environmentalist Paul Watson; Sea Shepherd claims to have sunk eight whaling ships over the years. When the boat embarked on a two-month chase, veteran journalist and adventure writer Peter Heller embedded with the vigilante crew as it braved the tumultuous Southern Ocean and faced off against the massive Japanese ships that, in violation of international law, slaughter hundreds of endangered whales every year. In the battles that ensued, Watson and his motley crew of volunteers-from radical environmentalists to ex-military to professional gamblers-attached a giant steel blade to the prow and rammed it into a tender ship ten times the tonnage of the Farley. In the face of unrelenting Force 8 gales and 35-foot seas thick with ice floes, Heller's shipmates risked their lives for what they believe: that the plight of the whales and the overexploitation of the ocean will soon bring about its total collapse-and that life on earth hangs in the balance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFollowing the lives of the three ships with the name Rainbow Warrior, this book, written by a long-serving Greenpeace activist, tells the inside stories of life on board and recounts some of the ship's most exciting adventures and actions. It is at once a narrative of real life on board, a history of some of the most famous vessels in the world, and also a history of Greenpeace itself, which goes beyond the oceans and touches on many aspects of the organization's work. In the end though it aims to bring out the personal stories and firsthand accounts of the ships' adventures—tales from the high seas, full of action and daring but also of humanity and great compassion. Starting with the early life of Greenpeace and the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior I by the French secret service through to the imprisonment of the Arctic 30 by the Russians, the stories are brought to life with photos from the Greenpeace archives, maps, and nautical charts. The most symbolic items belonging to the ship's historical inventory are be also included. Maite Mompo has been a Greenpeace activist for over ten years. With the sea in her blood she started on a small boat, the Zorba, and then moved on to crew for the Arctic Sunrise, Esperanza, and Rainbow Warrior. Spending half her year at sea, she has sailed from pole to pole, taken part in numerous actions, and has put herself "between the harpoon and the whale."
