THE MOON BY WHALE LIGHT
And Other Adventures
Among Bats, Penguins, Crocodilians, and Whales
“The book contains many gems.”
—The New York Times Book Review
Whether she’s sexing an alligator barehanded or coaxing a bat to tangle in her hair, Diane Ackerman goes to unique—and sometimes terrifying—extremes to observe nature at first hand. Provocative, celebratory, and wise, The Moon by Whale Light is a book that forges extraordinary visceral connections between the reader and the natural world.

Jaguar of Sweet Laughter presents the work of a poet with the precise and wondering eye of a gifted naturalist. Ackerman’s Olympian vision records and transforms landscapes from Amazonia to Antarctica, while her imaginative empathy penetrates the otherness of hummingbirds, deer, and trilobites.
