Trying Leviathan - D. Graham Burnett - Bog

- The Nineteenth-Century New York Court Case That Put the Whale on Trial and Challenged the Order of Nature

af D. Graham Burnett
Trying Leviathan af D. Graham Burnett
Bag om Trying Leviathan

In "Moby-Dick", Ishmael declares, 'Be it known that, waiving all argument, I take the good old fashioned ground that a whale is a fish, and call upon holy Jonah to back me'. This book recovers the story of Maurice versus Judd, an 1818 trial that pitted the new sciences of taxonomy against the biblically sanctioned-view that the whale was a fish.
