Customer Reviews

Excellent reference

This is the best cetacean book that I currently own. In-depth information on each species, excellent photographs, and good topics on observation in the wild. It also covers threats to cetaceans and conservation. The part I love is the section that outlines every coastal region in the world and the species found there, what time of year to go, etc. Very useful, I would definitely recommend!

one of the best

This is one of the best and most comprehensive of the whale and dolphin books currently out on the market right now. It features extra-ordinary pictures and is just packed with information (from biology and evolution to whale watching tips and spots). This is one of the gems in my private cetecean library. A must get for ardent whale and dolphin lovers!

What a great book!

This book has so much information. It is a great guide including information on different species, where they live, ocean pollution, and so much more!

Great reading, wonderful pictures

This book is really great. I really love how the book is divided into various sections, including a section on places to whale watch around the world. I absolutely love the pictures and illustrations too. I highly recommend it :-)!!

This book is GREAT!

I have read this book and it's amazing. I am only 11 years old, but I still love cetaceans!
