MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
There is still much to discover about dolphins. This book covers science in progress and shows how creative scientists ask new questions and find ways to extract the answers from masses of apparently meaningless data. The purpose of this book is to present some of the latest theories about how echolocation works, and to persuade the reader that studying and understanding whales and dolphins makes them more interesting and exciting.
Contents:
