This is a must have book for any dolphin lover. It is in full-color with numerous full-page photographs of dolphins by various photographers.

The lives & characteristics of oceanic, river, and coastal dolphins are also detailed. Next, environmental issues & research as well as the authors' personal experiences with dolphins are discussed. Wonderful photographs show many different species of dolphins in a wide variety of situations. A great illustrated chart showing over 30 dolphin types in also included. Many dolphins shown are quite unusual like the pink Boto & Atlantic spotted dolphin. A chart in the back gives details on the attributes & location of each one.

I have met Dr Wilson in person, and this book echoes his enthusiam and vast knowledge of dolphins. Dr Wilson is not only a profound scholar and a real boffin, but an excellent writer also.

His vivid pictures and lurid writing bring the pages to life and hold you in total awe of this exciting topic. This book will appeal to the layman and scientist alike.

Keep up the good work Ben Bunny
