 Dolphins and Porpoises: A goldmine of information! March 5, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I can't keep track of how many people I've met that love marine mammals; especially dolphins and porpoises. If you too are interested in these amazing creatures, I highly recommend this book. Dolphins and Porpoises is a book with the straight facts. Unlike other scientific books, Dolphins and Porpoises is easy to understand, but still gives you the information that you need. It is ideal for research, or pleasure reading. There are also many descriptive diagrams to explain slightly hard-to-grasp concepts on dolphins and porpoises. Dolphins and Porpoises is a wonderful book. I would reccomend it for all ages.
 Another in a stellar line of natural history books May 4, 2000
This is another book by Richard Ellis, painting naturalist. In this book Ellis focuses on dolphins and porpoises. The paintings by Ellis are, as in his books on sharks and whales, the main marketing vehicles for the book. To his credit, Ellis provides a substantial amount of accurate supporting information about the biology, ecology, and behavior, of this group of marine mammals. Though not a technical text on dolphins and porpoises, it is a great primer on the group. If you, a family member, or friend are interested in dolphins and their kin, then I highly recommend this book to you. Top-notch introduction to the group.
