In this book Ben Wilson gives an overview of dolphins from the perspective of a biologist whose life has been immersed in theirs. He leads you through a description of the characteristics common to all dolphins, then divides them into three groups according to the environments that shape them: dolphins as oceanic wanderers, coastal dolphins, and dolphins that have left the sea and now make their home in the world's greatest rivers. The final chapter explores the future of dolphins, including possible scientific discoveries, opportunities for the public to see and experience dolphins, and our responsibility for the dolphin's fate.
