Great Photos!

A colorful, accessible introduction to these masters of the ocean. Tons of great information, plus there are interesting photos on almost every page. Extensive information on life beyond the surface including feeding habits, sensing, diving, behavior and social systems. This book covers it all, from history on whales relationship to thethe Eskimo people to current efforts on conservation and preserving habitat. As one my favorite books on whales, porpoises and dolphins, I refer to and browse this book often.
