Antarctic Whaling: A Case Study In Near Extinction

This book explores how Norwegian and then British whalers came to claim so large a share of the whales taken from the Southern Ocean in the first half of the twentieth century, and, more particularly, where, how and why the British Government came to play so large a part in whaling history through its endeavour to regulate the whaling grounds.
