The Bottlenose Dolphin presents for the first time a comprehensive,
colorfully illustrated, and concise overview of a species that has
fascinated humans for at least 3,000 years. After reviewing
historical myths and legends of the dolphin back to the ancient
Greeks and discussing current human attitudes and interactions, the
author replaces myths with facts--up-to-date scientific assessment
of dolphin evolution, behavior, ecology, morphology, reproduction,
and genetics--while also tackling the difficult issues of dolphin
conservation and management. Although comprehensive enough to be of
great value to professionals, educators, and students, the book is
written in a manner that all dolphin lovers will enjoy. Randall
Wells's anecdotes interspersed throughout the work offer a
first-hand view of dolphin encounters and research based on three
decades working with them. Color photographs and nearly 100 black
and white illustrations, including many by National Geographic
photographer Flip Nicklin, beautifully enhance the text. Readers of
The Bottlenose Dolphin will better appreciate what dolphins truly
are and do, as well as understand some of the controversies
surrounding them. While raising compelling questions, the book
provides a wealth of information on a legendary species that is
loved and admired by many people.
