Summary:The Encyclopedia of Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, by Erich Hoyt is a beautiful book filled with amazing photographs, taken principally by Brandon Cole. Hoyt has studied cetaceans for 40 years, travelling around the world to observe the animals in their natural habitat. The book is broken into eight sections, including a chapter on the shared history of humans and whales, conducting research, the biology of cetaceans and the future for these creatures. Three chapters deal with the main subdivisions of cetaceans: Baleen Whales, Toothed Whales and Dolphins and Porpoises. A useful index is also included.
