Science, Sanctions and Cetaceans: Iceland and the Whaling Issue - Tapa dura

There are few issues more controversial than the morality of whaling, and Iceland has often been at the forefront of debate with its rich whaling culture extending back to the Vikings. This book presents a balanced discussion of the issues, tracing developments in politics and society since the International Whaling Commission's "moratorium" decision in 1984 up to the present time.
