Fantastic book about the x's and o's of whales November 21, 1998
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book explains many theories about whale behavior, communications, etc. in great detail. It is fairly complicated in its analysis and does not have any pictures. Definately a must read.
 Payne's Among Whales is a rich, lovingly told story April 20, 1998

My favorite parts of the book are the chapters in Patagonia, the descriptions of the wind, the culture of the Patagonian people, and of course, the behavior of the whales who lie in the shallow ocean beneath the cliffs. The mother whales and their calves sleep in the shallows, just below the observation center that Payne established. His delight in having found these elusive whales is infectious.
Amazing March 24, 1998
Roger Payne takes you along while he swims with whales and studies whales. If that were all the book did, it would be a pretty good book. But Payne soars into theology and further -- while still being a hard-headed scientist. An incredible book. A great read even if you don't care about whales.
