Dolphins - What They Can Teach Us (Hardcover, 1st ed)

The creators of the popular The Octopus: Phantom of the Sea and Sharks: Challengers of the Deep now team up to produce a beautiful, informative book on dolphins. Readers will enjoy learning how these appealing mammals hunt for food, care for their young, and defend themselves. This book also explains the many ways in which dolphins help human beings?by saving people from drowning, aiding fishermen in finding schools of fish, and, most amazingly, assisting both children and adults in coping with cancer, depression, and physical disabilities. In addition, there's a chapter devoted to ways in which humans can help protect dolphins. Jeffrey L. Rotman traveled to the Red Sea and to Dolphin Reef in Israel to capture these striking photographs, which include gorgeous close-ups and playful scenes of dolphins socializing with children. This is the perfect book for animal lovers, dolphin lovers, and budding environmentalists.
