5.0 out of 5 stars If you need to know about orcas..., December 29, 2002

By	K. Jones "kjay12" (San Juan Island) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in orca whales. It has mass amounts of great information, it's easy to read, there are great photographs, and the ID catalogue of orcas is nothing but the best. This book is a must have for any whale-lover, researcher, or someone with just a general interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful refrenece book, August 27, 2001

By	jAlexander Designs (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I just returned from a kayaking trip in the Johnston Straight just East of North Vancouver Island known as the inside passage. We had first hand views of the Orcas. This book was used as a reference manual to identify some of the whales. It has wonderful reference pictures of the known pods (families) in the area. It goes into great detail on their eating habits, language, and family history. It also explains their social behavior, and the differences between the pods. It is a wonderful book full of pictures, and details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Orca Researcher's Bible, March 27, 2002

By	S Doyle (Philadlephia, PA United States) - See all my reviews

May I first say I have never encountered a better identification book then Killer Whales and Transients. Both books are written by THE wild orca authority in the Pacific Northwest. Catalouged pictures and organized information of each individual in every pod along the coast from WA to northern BC along with accurate info on feeding, behavioral and other habits of the pods in Puget Sound and British Columbia. Truly a great book, and as I plan on researching these animals in my adulthood, it has been a great boost to my knowledge on them.
