Dr. Dolin's book chronicles in an epic one-volume history the rise and fall
of whaling in North America and the major role Cape Cod played in this
dangerous and violent industry. Historical sources, archival photographs and
paintings, and individual stories of whale men and whales bring to life 300
years of whaling.   Leviathan provides a comprehensive and fascinating view
of this lucrative yet brutal industry that shaped American culture, economy
and fortunes.  A book-signing follows.
