Using detailed and comprehensive data that describe more than four thousand whaling voyages from New Bedford, Massachusetts, the leading nineteenth-century whaling port, the authors explore the market for whale products, crew quality and labor contracts, and whale biology and distribution, and assess the productivity of the American fleet. They then examine new whaling techniques developed at the end of the nineteenth century, such as modified clippers and harpoons, and the introduction of darting guns. Despite the common belief that the whaling industry declined due to a fall in whale stocks, the authors argue that the industry's collapse was related to changes in technology and market conditions. Providing a wealth of historical information, In Pursuit of Leviathan is a classic industry study that will provide intriguing reading for anyone interested in the history of whaling. 410 0$aNBER series on long-term factors in economic development. 606 $aWhaling$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aWhaling$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 610 $awhaling, history, economics, voyages, new bedford, massachusetts, ports, labor, products, commerce, innovation, whale biology, productivity, technology, clippers, harpoons, darting guns, nonfiction, profits, blubber, ambergris, market forces, crew, sailors, fleet, 19th century, antebellum, eastern seaboard, natural resources, capital. 615 0$aWhaling$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aWhaling$xHistory 676 $a338.3/7295/097309034 700 $aDavis$b Lance Edwin$0118703 701 $aGallman$b Robert E$0140609 701 $aGleiter$b Karin$0145547 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784740103321 996 $aIn pursuit of Leviathan$93845233 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03516nam 2200673Ia 450 001 9910962924503321 005 20251116145013.0 010 $a9786610246519 010 $a9780309182355 010 $a0309182352 010 $a9781280246517 010 $a1280246510 010 $a9780309597104 010 $a0309597102 035 $a(CKB)1000000000006904 035 $a(OCoLC)56139733 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10057028 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000237576 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11202956 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000237576 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10193259 035 $a(PQKB)10177868 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3376751 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3376751 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10057028 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL24651 035 $a(OCoLC)923265566 035 $a(Perlego)4737670 035 $a(BIP)12806789 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000006904 100 $a20040925d2004 my 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 02$aA review of the FBI's trilogy information technology modernization program /$fJames C.

Implementation of this system has encountered substantial difficulties, however, and has been the subject of much investigation and congressional concern. To help address these problems, the FBI asked the National Research Council (NRC) to undertake a quick review of the program and the progress that has been made to date. This report presents that review. The current status of four major aspects of the program "the enterprise architecture, system design, program management, and human resources "are discussed, and recommendations are presented to address the problems. 606 $aInformation resources management$zUnited States 615 0$aInformation resources management 701 $aMcGroddy$b James C$01808144 701 $aLin$b Herbert$01093194 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on the FBI's Trilogy Information Technology Modernization Program. 712 02$aNational Academy of Sciences (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962924503321 996 $aA review of the FBI's trilogy information technology modernization program$94358244 997 $aUNINA
