A pioneer in underwater photography and film making, Horace Dobbs is the founder and director of International Dolphin Watch, an organisation for the study and conservation of dolphins. When not swimming with dolphins, he travels all over the world lecturing and giving film presentations about his work. His numerous radio and television programmes have made him well-known throughout the country.
"... this absorbing and informative book about the author's remarkable encounters with dolphins. Dobbs ably demonstrates how much happiness they can bring. Illustrated throughout with an award-winning collection of colour and black-and-white photographs." The Good Book Guide "Horace Dobbs, 'the Dolphin Man', shares his enthusiasm and knowledge in The Magic of Dolphins. All known aspects of these peaceful, intelligent, fun-loving creatures are described. The author tells of various survey projects that will appeal particularly to the young - as will this lucidly presented, handsomely illustrated book." Church Times "Dr Dobbs' book is full of information and would be excellent for the classroom." The Universe "This book, finely illustrated with black and white and colour photographs, is a combination of personal testimony, scientific information, folklore and pleading. This book attempts to show that there is a link between man and the dolphins, a link which transcends natural mammatry. In this the author has succeeded. On the whole this small book is economic of word, solid in its scientific presentation, beautiful in concept and thundering in impact. Once read, it will not be forgotten. You can always tell an author who lives and loves his subject, Horace Dobbs is one." Tide "... colorful, well-illustrated, informative book ..." Science Books and Films "The marvellous story of man's association with dolphins throughout the world. This is a new edition of a most delightful little book, first published in 1984. A good account, I would recommend it." Ulster Newsletter "The author has shared an exciting photographic chronicle of dolphin behavior. He has shared pictures of art and sculpture as expressions of human emotional responses...he goes into fascinating scientific details ...The flowing emotional text captures the extra-special relationship between the dolphin and humans since the beginning of recorded history. Very tactfully the author treats the subject of the conservation of our sea animals. Readers will find helpful addresses and information about organizations. Dobbs conveys the complex world of the dolphins while using an easy-to-read vocabulary. Highly recommended." Voice of Youth Advocates "Horace Dobbs Monsieur Dauphins decrit quelques-unes de ses plus belles rencontre avec les dauphins a l'etat sauvage, et attire l'attention du lecteur sur la necessite de proteger ces especes. D'excellentes photographies agrementent cet ouvrage." Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle
