Featuring more than a hundred arresting full-color photographs and IMAX® camera images, and text by best-selling author Tim Cahill, Dolphins is both a portrait of these unique marine mammals with whom we share our planet and a vivid profile of a gifted team of scientists on the frontier of dolphin research, whose firsthand account of what they've learned captures the irresistible challenge of understanding the dolphin's complex world.
