2019 Moonbeam Silver Medal Many thousands of years ago, when a sheet of ice up to a mile thick began to let go of the land, the Atlantic Ocean flooded great valleys that had been scooped out by glaciers, and the salty waves of an inland sea lapped the green hills of Vermont. Into this arm of the sea swam Charlotte. Her milky, smooth, muscled body sliced slowly through the water like scissors through silk. Like a chirping canary, her voice echoed across dark waters showing the way to her pod as belugas have done for millions of years.

“A palaeontological howdunnit…[Spying on Whales] captures the excitement of…seeking answers to deep questions in cetacean science.” —Nature Called “the best of science writing” (Edward O. Wilson) and named a best book by Popular Science, a dive into the secret lives of whales, from their four-legged past to their perilous present. Whales are among the largest, most intelligent, deepest diving species to have ever lived on our planet. They evolved from land-roaming, dog-sized creatures into animals that move like fish, breathe like us, can grow to 300,000 pounds, live 200 years and travel entire ocean basins. Whales fill us with terror, awe, and affection--yet there is still so much we don't know about them. Why did it take whales over 50 million years to evolve to such big sizes, and how do they eat enough to stay that big? How did their ancestors return from land to the sea--and what can their lives tell us about evolution as a whole? Importantly, in the sweepstakes of human-driven habitat and climate change, will whales survive? Nick Pyenson's research has given us the answers to some of our biggest questions about whales. He takes us deep inside the Smithsonian's unparalleled fossil collections, to frigid Antarctic waters, and to the arid desert in Chile, where scientists race against time to document the largest fossil whale site ever found. Full of rich storytelling and scientific discovery, Spying on Whales spans the ancient past to an uncertain future--all to better understand the most enigmatic creatures on Earth.

2019 Moonbeam Silver Medal Many thousands of years ago, when a sheet of ice up to a mile thick began to let go of the land, the Atlantic Ocean flooded great valleys that had been scooped out by glaciers, and the salty waves of an inland sea lapped the green hills of Vermont. Into this arm of the sea swam Charlotte. Her milky, smooth, muscled body sliced slowly through the water like scissors through silk. Like a chirping canary, her voice echoed across dark waters showing the way to her pod as belugas have done for millions of years. In 1849, a crew building a railroad through Charlotte, Vermont, dug up strange and beautiful bones in a farmer’s field. A local naturalist asked Louis Agassiz to help identify them, and the famous scientist concluded that the bones belonged to a beluga whale. But how could a whale’s skeleton have been buried so far from the ocean? The answer—that Lake Champlain had once been an arm of the sea—encouraged radical new thinking about geological time scales and animal evolution. Charlotte’s Bones is a haunting, science-based reconstruction of how Charlotte died 11,000 years ago in a tidal marsh, how the marsh became a field, how Charlotte found a second life as the Vermont state fossil, and what messages her bones whisper to us now about the fragility of life and our changing Earth.

The moonstones and the whalebones of Moonstone Beach swirl at the center of many local legends and myths, and as many warnings. Once known as the Travelers Stone, the moonstone was a rare and treasured amulet said to guard against the many perils of travel. Only found in a handful of locations in the world, the people of Moonstone Island, just off Californias southern coast, were so accustomed to seeing them that many had forgotten the stones magical protective powersand the cost of that protection. But ignorance is anything but bliss for the islanders, who do not know just how close they are to disaster. Those who have heard of the legend either write it off as a fairy tale or shamelessly exploit it for profit. Their fate lies in the hands of one bold and determined boy named Daniel. Just fourteen, his life is about to be pulled into an unimaginable quest to save the lives of everyone he knows and loves. Old Man Drake Clark is seen as a mostly harmless, potentially crazy, and unquestionably eccentric octogenarian, but Daniel knows that his old friend is privy to important knowledge. When he informs Daniel of his role in the legend, the teen must summon the courage to face his destiny. Daniel, his father Vincent, and his loyal Dalmatian Ernie set off on an epic quest filled with arduous challenges. If they succeed, they will fulfill the legend of the moonstones and restore peace and safety to their beloved island.
