- catalog abstract ""With the painstaking research and highly readable prose that are his hallmarks, Farley Mowat recounts the grim fate of the wildlife of the North Atlantic seaboard after the arrival of European man. Whales, once one of the most complex and stable life forms on Earth, were virtually eradicated. Great auks, numbering in the hundreds of millions, were driven extinct. Creatures as diverse as walruses and seals, cod and cormorants nearly suffered the same fate, seeing their numbers reduced by as much as 95 percent."
