I picked up this book because I am a scuba diver with a fascination for Dolphins and always keen to learn something new. There was nothing to be learned here and not very much about Dolphins anyway.
This book is full of the author's fantasies. So much so, I was expecting to read his report of what various animals had said to him at any time.
As an example of how badly the book is written, the following is quoted verbatim from p.102:
"I went to Yellowstone National Park to study and film the annual bugling of the elk. Bull elk really do bugle, and it is a sound which if it did not actually occur, could never be invented. The Tarzan-like call is easily one of the most haunting sounds in all of nature. A bull elk begins bugling (not honking, not trumpeting, but bugling), and all the females within earshot come running to him in sexual anticipation."
Just one example of this author's lack of ability with words and lack of understanding of punctuation.
