Whales of the World
With their haunting ocean "songs" and
gushing spouts, whales great or small inspire
awe. Though their impressive size and might protect them from most natural
dangers, intensive hunting by humans has put them right at the top of the
conservation agenda. This wonderfully illustrated guide covers
classification of all the whale families: blue whales
(the world's largest mammals), magnificent humpbacks, sperm whales, and right whales,
as well as dolphins and other cetaceans. A uniquely informed text written
by a world expert accompanies a wide range of photographs and
illustrations of whales leaping, blowing, and
swimming. Realistically examine the implications of the commercial
exploitation of whales and dolphins. Dramatic
stories of whale hunts from the past give the history behind the
present-day problems. Information on the dolphin's high intelligence and
gentleness make these playful beings all the more endearing. You'll see
clearly why they deserve our protection and respect! 36 color and 85
b/w illustrations. 192 pages. Paperback.

The Book of Dolphins
Celebrate one
of the most magnificent, playful, and engaging creatures on earth. Over
100 large-size, dramatic color photographs taken throughout the world give
an up-close and personal look at dolphins--their diversity, physiology,
social structure, and environment, as well as other "dolphin mysteries."
How intelligent are they? Why do dolphins get stranded on beaches? Are
they always as unselfish and good-natured as their reputation suggests?
How much pleasure do they take in human company? Stories about "rescue
operations" in which dolphins have lured sharks
away from swimmers, as well as their role in military operations,
illustrate why we have long felt a special bond with these animals. For
those interested in dolphin watching and conservation, there's advice on
where to go to find them, how to swim with them, recognizing behavior
patterns, and how to help preserve them. Includes a chart identifying
species from the Atlantic hump-backed to the Tucuxi.
