Pulling a Whale: True Stories of Opportunity and Serendipity

By David Barron

How is it that adventure just seems to find some people?

For photographer and traveler David Barron, the secret may lie in some combination of an open mind, raw luck, an appetite for hands-on learning, and never missing a chance to indulge in friendly banter. But behind all that is a well-honed radar set to tune in to opportunity, wherever it arises--and a willingness to follow that signal as far as it leads.

Pulling a Whale: True Stories of Opportunity and Serendipity follows David on his journeys around the world, from Barrow in northern Alaska to many of the breathtaking wildlife research projects he photographed for Earthwatch to spending time with sea turtles in Baja, sperm whales in Mauritius, or coyotes in Kentucky.

Abundantly depicted with the author's full-color photos, these inviting stories are imbued with warmth and humor and are full of inspiration for readers of any age who long for a life-changing adventure.
