About this title

Synopsis

Describes different species of whales, discusses their characteristics and behavior, and tells the stories of encounters between whales and people

Reviews

In this book, scientists, naturalists, and underwater photographers relate a variety of fascinating experiences with whales. Particularly engaging is the story of the Minnesota Zoological Garden's attempt to treat a cut on the lip of a beluga using a giant bandaid developed by the 3M Company. Another chapter describes efforts to redirect a humpback whale, known as Humphrey, out of the San Francisco Bay estuaries into which it had wandered. The stories are fresh and will give general readers a good perspective on man's varied interactions with these great sea mammals. Susan Klimley, Columbia Univ. Libs.
