Spinner Publications, based in New Bedford, MA, has been publishing the rich history and culture of Southeastern New England since 1981. Their diverse range of books, photographs, maps, prints, and more, along with their educational projects and archives, provide a comprehensive understanding of the region's heritage.
One of their notable projects is the Moby-Dick A Whaling Voyage curriculum, which offers a multi-media DVD, study guides, examinations, and a web component. This curriculum explores the history of whaling culture, race relations, and multiculturalism in 19th century Massachusetts, using Melville's classic novel as a central text. With its interdisciplinary approach, Spinner Publications aims to engage students of all levels and learning styles, making Moby-Dick accessible and fostering critical thinking across various humanities disciplines.
