1) Paperback Book The Last Whale by Fremantle Press. It´s the end of the seventies and one young reporter is bearing witness to the final days of Australia´s whaling industry.

Thirty years after the last whale was captured and slaughtered in Australia, Chris Pash, tells the very human story of the characters and events that brought whaling to an end.
This fair and balanced account portrays the raw adventure of going to sea, the perils of being a whaler and the `crazy, but somehow magical´ commitment that leads activists to throw themselves into the path of an explosive harpoon.

`A timely reminder of how far we´ve come since the days of routine slaughter, of how hard conservationists fought to bring it to an end, and how vigilant we must be in making sure that the dark days of whaling are behind us forever.´ -- Tim Winton

`... an important contribution to Australian history and to the protection of whales. From a historical perspective, it chronicles the people and events which created Greenpeace in Australia and it also seeks to understand the minds and thinking of those who hunted whales in Australia ...´ -- Steve Shallhorn, CEO Greenpeace Australia Pacific
