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: Combining state-of-the-art illustrations with color photographs and maps, this book acts as a guide to the world`s marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, walruses, otters, polar bears, dugongs, and manatees. Highlighting key field marks and summarizing the behavior types, it is suitable for amateurs and seasoned professionals.

Описание: Hans Thewissen, a leading researcher in the field of whale paleontology and anatomy, gives a sweeping first-person account of the discoveries that brought to light the early fossil record of whales. As evidenced in the record, whales evolved from herbivorous forest-dwelling ancestors that resembled tiny deer to carnivorous monsters stalking lakes and rivers and to serpentlike denizens of the coast. Thewissen reports on his discoveries in the wilds of India and Pakistan, weaving a narrative that reveals the day-to-day adventures of fossil collection, enriching it with local flavors from South Asian culture and society.
The reader senses the excitement of the digs as well as the rigors faced by scientific researchers, for whom each new insight gives rise to even more questions, and for whom at times the logistics of just staying alive may trump all science. In his search for an understanding of how modern whales live their lives, Thewissen also journeys to Japan and Alaska to study whales and wild dolphins. He finds answers to his questions about fossils by studying the anatomy of otters and porpoises and examining whale embryos under the microscope.
In the book's final chapter, Thewissen argues for approaching whale evolution with the most powerful tools we have and for combining all the fields of science in pursuit of knowledge.

Описание:
Among all the large whales on Earth, the most unusual and least studied is the narwhal, the northernmost whale on the planet and the one most threatened by global warming. Narwhals thrive in the fjords and inlets of northern Canada and Greenland. These elusive whales, whose long tusks were the stuff of medieval European myths and Inuit legends, are uniquely adapted to the Arctic ecosystem and are able to dive below thick sheets of ice to depths of up to 1,500 meters in search of their prey-halibut, cod, and squid.
Join Todd McLeish as he travels high above the Arctic circle to meet:
Teams of scientific researchers studying the narwhal's life cycle and the mysteries of its tusk
Inuit storytellers and hunters
Animals that share the narwhals' habitat: walruses, polar bears, bowhead and beluga whales, ivory gulls, and two kinds of seals
McLeish consults logbooks kept by whalers and explorers and interviews folklorists and historians to tease out the relationship between the real narwhal and the mythical unicorn. In Colorado, he visits climatologists studying changes in the seasonal cycles of the Arctic ice. From a history of the trade in narwhal tusks to descriptions of narwhals' vocalizations as heard through hydrophones, Narwhals reveals the beauty and thrill of the narwhal and its habitat, and the threat it faces from a rapidly changing world.

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.
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.
