Best visual field guide out there December 13, 2000
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My title sums it up. This is the ultimate book to bring on a field trip to watch whales and dolphins. The illustrations are clear and crisp and would aid anyone (even an expert would have a need for such a book) in the identification of any species (and it covers all the known ceteceans).
GREAT BOOK! July 21, 2000

I personally am in love with all marine mammals, so I have many books on the subject. This is a great one. It provides small but effective overview of each of the known species. Its a great book, i highly recommend it!

This Eyewitness Handbook on whales, dolphins, and porpoises was extremely valuable during my recent trip to Baja Mexico to whale watch in the Sea of Cortez. The book provides a wealth of information on each species with specific descriptions and illustrations that are right on. We had two naturalists on board and they love the book too, so it's worthwhile no matter what your level of cetacean knowledge.
Wow! Incredible book! February 3, 2000

This is a great book if you want just a field guide with information on the different species of cetaceans. This would be a great book to take "whale watching".
Best Field Guide for Cetaceans I Have Seen January 11, 2000
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I lead about a dozen pelagic (offshore) birding boat trips each year off the east coast of the U.S. In the process, I became very interested in identifying the whales and dolphins we were seeing. As a result, I needed to find a decent field guide.This book is the best field guide to cetaceans that I've seen yet. It does an excellent job of presenting known identification criteria as well as pitfalls. The pictures, measurements, and dive sequences provide a quick reference. The more in-depth text provides the further details needed to confirm an ID or sometimes to explain why your view of a specific animal keeps you from making a positive ID. This is the one cetacean field guide I recommend to trip participants.
