Book Description
Once hunted by whalers and now the darling of ecotourists, the gray whale has become part of the culture, history, politics, and geography of Mexico's most isolated region. After the harvesting of gray whales was banned by international law in 1946, their populations rebounded; but while they are no longer hunted for their oil, these creatures are now chased up and down the lagoons of southern Baja California by whalewatchers. This book uses the biology and politics associated with gray whales in Mexican waters to present an unusual case study in conservation and politics. It provides an inside look at how gray whale conservation decisions are made in Mexico City and examines how those policies and programs are carried out in the calving grounds of San Ignacio Lagoon and Magdalena Bay, where catering to ecotourists is now an integral part of the local economy. More than a study of conservation politics, Dedina's book puts a human face on wildlife conservation. The author lived for two years with residents of Baja communities to understand their attitudes about wildlife conservation and Mexican politics, and he accompanied many in daily activities to show the extent to which the local economy depends on whalewatching. "It is ironic," observes Dedina, "that residents of some of the most isolated fishing villages in North America are helping to redefine our relationship with wild animals. Americans and Europeans brought the gray whale population to the brink of extinction. The inhabitants of San Ignacio Lagoon and Magdalena Bay are helping us to celebrate the whales' survival." By showing us how these animals have helped shape the lifeways of the people with whom they share the lagoons, Saving the Gray Whale demonstrates that gray whales represent both a destructive past and a future with hope.

Book Description
Virginia Moonstone Mazzetti knows that some would find it insane to uproot from a life in Washington State and start over on a plot of land in Mexico. Most people could never imagine doing something so daring. But she's found others who have done the exact same thing themselves. In Mexico, Mazzetti has met like-minded souls. These women have been in Mexico anywhere from two to fifty years. Each has unique reasons for moving there, but they all share the same courage and determination. And now, none of them ever plan to leave! Through twenty interviews, Mazzetti explores the reasons for their odysseys and the peace, happiness, and adventure they have found in their new homes. She focuses on the desert peninsula of Baja California. The isolation has given the locals a pioneering, persevering spirit that Mazzetti can't help but admire in her new town of Todos Santos. It is that same spirit that is shared among her friends and interview subjects. Mazzetti and her friends graciously invite you into their homes and will inspire you to start your own adventure to destinations unknown. You're never too young or too old to completely transform your life!
