Philip Hoare, a frequent visitor to Cape Cod, is obsessed with the sea. He swims in it every day -- winter and summer. In this talk, drawing on his new book, RISINGTIDEFALLINGSTAR, he looks at the way we humans relate to the sea's natural history - its whales, its birds, its tides, its myths. From Thoreau to Melville, from Virginia Woolf to Oscar Wilde he takes up human stories to see how they intertwine with watery mysteries: the singing humpback, the shape-shifting selkie, the gothic cormorant. In their past we see the future, incarnate in all those stories contained beneath what Melville called, "the ocean's skin."
