4.0 out of 5 stars the Premier Treatise on This Subject, April 5, 2002
By "nicksohl" (Gulf Port, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Communication Between Man and Dolphin (Paperback)
The first serious look at the attempts by humans to communicate with dolphins. Lilly breaks new ground with his coverage of expirements to date.
Most work in this field has been only written up before in classified military projects. Reluctantly I had passed my copy on to a student majoring in marine biology.
This review is written from memory as I came here seeking to buy another copy. I liked it enough to buy it twice. My recommendation that you buy it once is happily tendered.

2.0 out of 5 stars Different scientific times, November 11, 2002
By Brendon Rahn (Holloman AFB, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Communication Between Man and Dolphin (Paperback)
This book was written in the 1950's and I suppose that these were different times because allot of the trial and error research Lilly does is disturbing. I have only read the first three chapters and i felt the need to talk about it on amazon. In his first experiments on the dolphins he is given five to test the brain patterns by directly simulating the brain. And instead of learning more about dolphins and carefully experimenting on anesthetic for the animail, he instead runs headlong into the operating room and kills two dolphins on the table before he realizes that somthing isnt working. He then is able to revive one after it has not breathed for 10 min and elects to put it back in the water half brain dead to "see if it was still able to swim" . It wasnt. So he then elects to scrach the whole experiment of studing the brain alive so he instead kills all five dolphins to get "good brain specimens". He then finishes the chapter talking about how its strange that dolphins have all the equipment to hurt man but never does even when provoked. Wow real good deductions Lilly. (sarcasim) So the only reason i gave it two stars is because the conclusions he finally (after needlessly killing) draws are well thought (even if his experiment are not) and the basic theisis is intriging.
