520    Although Herman Melville's Moby-Dick is beloved as one of 
       the most profound and enduring works of American fiction, 
       we rarely consider it a work of nature writing-or even a 
       novel of the sea. A revelation for Moby-Dick devotees and 
       neophytes alike, Ahab's Rolling Sea is a chronological 
       journey through the natural history of Melville's novel. 
       From white whales to whale intelligence, giant squids, 
       barnacles, albatross, and sharks, Richard J. King examines
       what Melville knew from his own experiences and the 
       sources available to a reader in the mid-1800s, exploring 
       how and why Melville might have twisted what was known to 
       serve his fiction. King then climbs to the crow's nest, 
       setting Melville in the context of the American perception
       of the ocean in 1851-at the very start of the Industrial 
       Revolution and just before the publication of On the 
       Origin of Species. King compares Ahab's and Ishmael's 
       worldviews to how we see the ocean today: an expanse still
       immortal and sublime, but also in crisis. And although the
       concept of stewardship of the sea would have been entirely
       foreign, if not absurd, to Melville, King argues that 
       Melville's narrator Ishmael reveals his own tendencies 
       toward what we would now call environmentalism.
