Killer Whales: The Natural History and Genealogy of Orcinus Orca in British Columbia and Washington State - Softcover
Synopsis
The second edition of this bestselling book presents updated results of over twenty-five years of killer whale research in British Columbia and Washington. Intended for both whale enthusiasts and researchers, it contains the latest information on what is known of killer whale natural history and presents a catalogue of close to 300 photographs of "resident" killer whales as well as a genealogical registry that enables readers to identify individual killer whales and their family groups. New in this edition is the latest information on the status and future prospects of west-coast killer whales - how they may be affected by declining salmon stocks, high levels of toxic chemicals in their tissue, and increasing vessel traffic and underwater noise. Whale watchers will particularly appreciate revised suggestions and guidelines on how to view whales in the wild without disturbing them. The authors are active researchers who are widely regarded as the world's foremost authorities on killer whales.

Review
This work is an astounding accomplishment and unique in the depth of knowledge for a wild vertebrate population. (Dean Fisher, Professor Emeritus, Department of Zoology, UBC)
Killer Whales makes a significant contribution to the understanding of killer whales ... The work these authors have done sets a standard that is to be envied by researchers around the world ... They have synthesized twenty years of research and understanding in a very informative volume that will both educate the novice whale watcher and serve as the researcher's killer whale bible. (A. W. Trites, Director of the Marine Mammal Research Unit, UBC)
