Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises: A Natural History and Species Guide Hardcover – 18 Sept. 2015

This is easily one of the best books I own, and as someone with a forest’s worth of bound paper lexical units, those words aren’t written lightly. There is a wealth of brilliantly laid out, scientific but accessible information, and the pictoral guides of cetacean surface behaviour is so wonderfully useful for illustrating the congruity between what we see and what is going on under the surface. I couldn’t rate this book highly enough. Not a fluke. A fantastic tail. Blows the competition out of the water. I had a whale.

Excellent book for people that want more than just photos. My daughter is an enthusiast and she loves this present

fantastic book - for anyone interested in the subject it's an amazing overview with beautiful illustrations and photographs

A must have for anyone with an interest in dolphins and whales.

This book is really wonderfull. It might have some small theoretical problems with new species but those are irrelevant for at least 99% of the readers. Every species is very well described with very clear drawings.The only problem is the size of the book. It's clearly not intended to be taken into the field.
