Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the natural history of dolphins, drawing on the writings of ancient Greek authors and the author's own observations of live and dead specimens. The author argues that dolphins are not actually fish, but rather a type of marine mammal closely related to whales and porpoises. He describes their physical characteristics, behavior, and intelligence, and discusses their relationship with humans. The book also includes a number of beautiful engravings of dolphins, both ancient and modern. The author's work is significant because it provides a comprehensive and accurate account of the natural history of dolphins, based on both ancient and modern sources. It is also one of the first works to argue that dolphins are not fish, but rather a type of marine mammal. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the natural history of dolphins or in the history of zoology.
