Ahab’s Rolling Sea: Tracing Our Perceptions of the Ocean Through “Moby-Dick”
Delaware County Institute of Science hosts a presentation by author Richard King.
Richard J. King, a visiting professor at the Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, will talk about his book, “Ahab’s Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick,” on Monday, November 9, 7:30-8:30 p.m. This virtual presentation is part of the Delaware County Institute of Science Speaker Series.
King will discuss how we may use Melville’s masterpiece to shed light on our own current knowledge of marine biology and oceanography — as well as how we perceive and steward the ocean today. You do not need to have read the novel to enjoy the talk.
