This review is from: Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans:: Laboratory and Field Evidence (Nato Science Series: A:) (Hardcover)

If you're looking for very detailed information on the sensory abilities of cetaceans this is the book for you. However, if you're just looking to learn a general overview, obviously based on price, this book should be looked over. It's only for those wanting to become/already are biologists.

It has illustrations to and figures, as well as references at the end of chapters to give you an idea of how the information was acquired.

The font is a little funny, as if it was typed up right then and there by a type writer.

All in all you need to have some sort of idea about cetacean structure and physiology and anatomy before you pick up and try to go through this book.
