### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well written autobiographical story about the demise of an Orca Pod after the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
  

*by C***J on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2022*

I work in Alaska and was recommended this book written by Eva, who has since passed. There are still a few males left from this Orca pod that will go extinct in my lifetime. It is such a heart breaking story...but also a story about growing up, nature, and very enlightening tale about how field work is done to study the impacts of such horrific events (in this case, an oil spill that should never be forgotten),  and also the impacts of the environmental clean up and mitigation. A budding young scientist narrates this story, so you also get a first hand glance at a wide-eyed optimistic person continuing to pursue research under such difficult circumstances, and see how passion can make a career. Lovely book, albeit sad as hell.

    Wonderful, tragic, hopeful, heart-breaking.
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019*

Eva  Saulitis'  Into Great Silence is a beautifully written book. If you're an orca fan or want to know about orcas, don't pass this book by. It's not just scholarly, it's written with a sense of love, respect, and wonder.Saulitis spent many summers in Alaskan waters studying whales: photographing them, listening to them, and recording every detail. This may sound boring, but it absolutely is riveting.  Readers come to know the whales, their personalities and their habits. And one comes to know Eva Saulitis as she grows from being a neophyte observer to a highly-skilled, seasoned observer.Saulitis'  willingness to live in a tent in generally  unpleasant weather for months at a time is in itself stunning. It takes not just dedication, but love for what one is doing. We all like to think of the wilderness in positive, glowing terms, but the reality is Alaskan spring and summer months can be cold, rainy, windy, and tough. (I lived in S. E. Alaska for two  years. One year we had summer all in one day.) Even more inspiring, though, were the hours upon hours that the author and various companions who worked with her spent in a small craft filming, photographing, cataloging and listening to transient orcas.The book is tinged with sadness, however. As one gets to know the whales and reads of Saulitis' travails, the death of a large number of orcas due to the Exxon Valdez oil spill is hard to bear. I was aware of the spill when it happened, but after reading Saulitis' account of the devastation and death of so many marine animals, it is clear that the real truth of the matter was never really revealed. The clean-up was almost as bad as the spill.Watching the growth and transformation of Eva Saulitis due to her dedication and love of her project, pulls one in. Her observations are not just professional but also personal. Her writing feels almost poetic at times. Eva discovers things about herself, and readers are likely to discover things about themselves reading this book.Wonderful, tragic, hopeful, heart-breaking.

    A beautiful love letter to the orcas and the Pacific Northwest
  

*by M***U on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2018*

A beautifully written memoir about researching transient orcas in the Pacific Northwest.  I could not put down this book.  Having visited that area once, so many parts of it transported me back there, to the pristine beauty of those places.  There is lots of information about orcas that Mrs. Saulitis captured as a part of her research,  and this information is "packaged" in a beautiful book that reads almost like poetry.  If you ever see this review, Mrs Saulitis, THANK YOU so much for sharing your knowledge and your thoughts with us and for writing this gorgeous book!
