Описание:
Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales is a detailed, fully illustrated atlas on the anatomy and morphology of toothed and whalebone whales. The book provides basic knowledge on anatomical structures, in particular, soft tissues, and functions as a standalone reference work for dissecting rooms and labs, and for those sampling stranded and by-caught dolphins in the field. As a companion and supplement to Anatomy of Dolphins: Insights into Body Structure and Function, this atlas will be of great interest to the scientific community, including veterinarians and biologists, as a book of reference. With a modern approach to dolphin anatomy and morphology, this atlas provides the extensive knowledge necessary to practitioners and theoretical scientists such as evolutionary biologists.
The conceptual clarity, precision, and comprehensive and updated display of the topographical anatomy of the body of cetaceans in the atlas support and illustrate the authors' related work, serving as a comprehensive reference for those who are more specifically interested in the details of the anatomy and morphology of porpoises, dolphins and whales.
Offers a single reference source and useful teaching tool for visualizing the integrated body and its components
Functions as a helpful method for demonstrating the animal's anatomy prior to dissection, and for teaching topographic and comparative anatomy
Provides a unique and authoritative resource that explicitly relates the gross and microscopic anatomy of cetacean organs and tissues
The prenatal development of dolphins is largely achieved

Описание: Cetaceans inhabit oceans, seas and some rivers throughout the world. Hearing and sound production are thought to serve crucial functions in the behavior, natural history or life cycle of all of these animals. This title presents an overview of the bioacoustics of whales and dolphins.
A state-of-the-art photographic identification guide to Europe's whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals
This cutting-edge photographic identification guide to Europe's sea mammals--the only such guide of its kind--covers the 39 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises and 9 species of seals found in the region, which spans the eastern Atlantic from Iceland to Macaronesia, and the Mediterranean, Caspian and Baltic seas. Written and illustrated by a team of professional tour guides with extensive experience presenting the region's sea mammals, the guide features more than 180 color photographs, maps and graphics, highlights key identification features and includes information on the range, ecology, behaviour and conservation status of each species. Produced with the marine conservation charity ORCA, the book presents mapping data from a decade of surveys, which shows both current distribution and changes over time. Europe's Sea Mammals is an essential companion for whale watchers and anyone else who is interested in this enigmatic group of mammals.

Описание: She dove into the ocean simply to play with wild dolphins and whales, but emerged a decade later a different person.
Hawaii-born author, therapist, and relationship expert Bobbie Merrill takes you on her ten-year journey into the deep and personal world of wild dolphins and whales. It took her almost the entire decade to believe the cetaceans could communicate with her. But once she yielded to the idea that their messages were both deliberate and wise, she discovered the real magic was not in their ability to converse with her, but in the power of what they were saying.
As you join Merrill in her journey, filled with moving stories about the wisdom and lives of the magnificent dolphins and whales, you too will discover
The source of the renowned magic of dolphins and whales
Why these intelligent beings come to our shores to befriend and teach us
The hidden and healing power of their kindness and love-and how you can use it to manifest our own dreams and ensure our survival
New Information about the devastating impact of sonar warming our ocean and why so many dolphins and whales are stranding themselves on our beaches to die
Not Just for Wisdom Seekers, Animal Lovers and Adventurers
Compelling Conversations with Dolphins and Whales in the Wild holds tremendous appeal for readers seeking serious personal healing and growth from a book steeped in laughter. It is also for those committed to saving our endangered dolphins and whales and other keystone marine mammals and plants that keep the ocean's tenuous ecosystem alive.
This unique true story and commentary not only shares Merrill's account from her perspective as one of the first to swim with wild cetaceans, but also enables you to surface from its pages with the same lessons for happiness and healing she was blessed to learn.
Toward the end of this joyfully entrancing memoir, the tone shifts to unveil the shocking truth Merrill was shown about our soul-tarnishing abuse of these high level beings that has brought them to the brink of extinction. After exposing this concealed information, she shifts back again to hope and new possibilities by sharing the heart-opening ideas she learned from the cetaceans for how we can change the course of our human and global crisis-hopefully in time for their salvation and ours.
